1 lb phyllo dough
3/4 cup melted butter
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach

2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 lb dry curd cottage cheese or 1/2 lb ricotta cheese

Cook spinach according to package directions.
Drain well.
Squeeze out all moisture from spinach.
Process spinach until finely chopped, about 8 to 10 seconds.
Add onions and remaining ingredients and process just until mixed.
(Add second egg only if mixture seems dry).
Pour filling over first half of filo dough and cover with remaining filo dough.
