1 1/2 lbs frozen spinach, thawed and drained
8 oz feta cheese, crumbled
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
6 None green onions, finely chopped

Preparation
-
Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
Squeeze excess liquid from spinach with hands. Chop spinach finely. Combine spinach, cheeses, onions, garlic, herbs, lemon juice, egg and salt and pepper in a large bowl.
Brush a sheet of phyllo with some butter. Place another sheet on top and brush with butter. Fold in half lengthwise and place in prepared pan, edges overhanging. Repeat with 6 more sheets, overlapping strips clockwise around pan, until covered.
Spoon spinach mixture into pan. Fold edges back onto filling. Brush phyllo with butter.
Layer remaining 4 phyllo sheets, brushing each layer with butter. Fold in half crosswise; brush with butter. Place on pie. Trim phyllo a little larger than pan. Tuck pastry edge inside pan.
Bake for 45 mins, or until browned and cooked through. Cover with foil if it browns too quickly. Let stand for 15 mins before releasing springform pan and cutting into wedges.
