- Saut onions in butter until soft.
- Add spinach and saut a few minutes longer; cool.
- Add cream cheese, Feta, eggs, salt and pepper; mix well.
- Place 10 layers of phyllo pastry sheets in a 12 x 16 x 2-inch pan, brushing each sheet well with melted butter. Add spinach mixture, then place another 10 layers of phyllo, buttering each sheet.

- You can brush the spanakopeta with a slightly beaten egg before baking for a nice luster.
- I use margarine as all butter is very rich.
