Steps

  1. Heat the oven to 180°C / 350°F. Cook the onion in 2 tbsp oil 8 minutes, then cool.

  2. Mix the spinach, feta, onion, scallions, eggs, dill, pepper, and nutmeg.

  3. Brush a baking dish with oil and layer in half the phyllo, oiling every second sheet.

  4. Spread the filling flat and cover with the remaining phyllo, oiling as you go. Score the top into squares.

  5. Bake 50 minutes until deep golden, then rest 15 minutes before cutting.

Score before baking; baked phyllo shatters if you cut it cold.
