Instructions:

Filling:

1. Heat the oil in a pan.
2. Add the finely chopped spring onions and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until softened.
3. Add the spinach and salt to taste.
4. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until softened and the liquid has evaporated.
5. Add the dill and stir.
6. Remove from heat and let cool.

Shaping:

1. Grease a baking pan with oil.
2. Take 2 phyllo sheets and spread them out.
3. Sprinkle with cheese and spread some of the filling on top.
4. Roll up without pressing.
5. Place the roll in the center of the pan, coiling it into a snail.
6. Roll up the remaining phyllo sheets in the same way, wrapping each subsequent roll around the first.
7. Continue until the pan is full. My pan is 34 cm in diameter and fits exactly one pack of phyllo sheets.

Topping:

1. Whisk the eggs with the yogurt.
2. Pour the egg mixture over the pie.
3. Distribute chunks of butter on top.

Baking:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) without a fan.
2. Bake the pie in the lower part of the oven for 40-50 minutes.

Serving:

1. Let the pie cool slightly and cut into pieces.
2. Serve it warm, with a glass of refreshing ayran (yogurt drink).

Enjoy!

Here are some additional tips:

• You can use frozen spinach instead of fresh spinach. If so, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess water before using it.
• You can add other vegetables to the filling, such as chopped onions, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
• For a richer flavor, use full-fat yogurt instead of low-fat yogurt.
• If you don’t have ayran, you can serve the pie with a glass of milk, tea, or coffee.

Please note:

• The original recipe calls for baking the pie in the lower part of the oven. You can also bake it in the middle of the oven if you prefer.
• The recipe also calls for serving the pie with ayran (yogurt drink). You can also serve it with other beverages, such as milk, tea, or coffee.

I hope you enjoy this recipe!
