(Courtesy of Favorite Brand Name)

Ingredients:
1/3 c. butter, melted
2 eggs
1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 container (15 oz.) ricotta cheese
1 pkg. (4 oz.) crumbed feta cheese
3/4 tsp. finely grated lemon peel
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 pkg. (16 oz.) frozen phyllo dough, thawed

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Brush a 9x13 baking dish lightly with butter.

Beat eggs in a medium bowl.  Stir in spinach, ricotta, feta, lemon peel, pepper and nutmeg.  Set aside.

Unwrap phyllo dough; remove 8 sheets.  Cut dough in half crosswise forming 16 rectangles about 13x8 1/2 inches.  Cover dough with damp cloth or plastic wrap to keep moist while assembling pie.  Reserve remaining dough for another use.

Place 1 piece of dough in prepared dish; brush top lightly with butter.  Layer with another piece of dough and brush lightly with butter.  Continue layering with 6 pieces of dough, brushing each lightly with butter.  Spoon spinach mixture evenly over dough.

Top spinach mixture with piece of dough; brush lightly with butter.  Repeat layering with remaining 7 pieces of dough, brushing each piece lightly with butter.

Bake, uncovered, 35-40 minutes or until golden brown.
