Deep-Dish Spanakopita

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 8 green onions, chopped (1 cup)
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 (6-ounce) packages fresh baby spinach or 11 cups chopped Swiss chard
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 (8-ounce) package feta cheese, crumbled
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped dried tomatoes in oil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 (16-ounce) package frozen phyllo pastry, thawed (we tested with Athens)
• 1/3 cup butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• 2 ounces cream cheese, cubed and softened

1. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until hot. Add green onions and garlic; saute 3 minutes or until tender. Add spinach and water; cover and cook 8 minutes or until spinach wilts. Cool spinach completely in a colander set over a bowl. Return cooled spinach to pan. Add cheeses, tomatoes, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper, stirring well to combine.
2. Trim phyllo sheets to 13" x 9", if necessary. Layer 8 sheets of phyllo in a lightly greased 13" x 9" baking dish, using half of melted butter to brush between sheets. (Keep remaining phyllo covered with a damp cloth.) Bake at 400u0b0 on lowest oven rack for 6 minutes or until lightly browned; set aside.
3. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour; cook 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk. Cook over medium heat 2 minutes, whisking constantly. Whisk in cream cheese and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
4. Spread spinach filling over baked phyllo crust; drizzle with white sauce.
5. Layer remaining phyllo sheets over filling using remaining half of melted butter to brush between sheets. Using a sharp knife, score top layer of phyllo into 8 portions. Bake at 400u0b0 on middle oven rack 30 minutes or until pastry is golden. Serve hot.
