    | 1. Set oven to 350 degrees. | 2. Lightly butter the inside of the pie plate. | 3. heat 3 tablespoons of butter or olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add in the onion, green onion and garlic and saute for about 3-4 minutes or until softened. | 4. Add/stir in the chopped spinach and parsley; continue to cook for 3-5 minutes or until the spinach is limp; remove from heat and cool. | 5. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until well blended. | 6. Add in ricotta cheese and feta, then add to the spinach mixture; mix to combine with a wooden spoon. | 7. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper (at this point I add in about 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, but that is optional). | 8. Layer 4 sheets of thawed phyllo dough into prepared pie plate, brushing each layer with melted butter or oil (to prevent drying out, follow the instructions on the phyllo dough package). | 9. Pour the spinach mixture on top of the dough. | 10. Repeat the layers of phyllo dough. | 11. Tuck the overhanging dough into the pie plate and crimp edges. | 12. Brush with melted butter. | 13.
