Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, dill, parsley, onion, garlic, feta cheese, ricotta cheese, eggs, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Layer 5 sheets of phyllo pastry in the greased baking dish, brushing each sheet with olive oil before adding the next. Allow the excess pastry to hang over the edges of the dish.
Spread the spinach filling evenly over the phyllo pastry.
Layer the remaining 5 sheets of phyllo pastry on top of the filling, again brushing each sheet with olive oil. Fold the excess pastry from the sides over the top layer.
Using a sharp knife, score the top layer of the pastry into squares or triangles, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
