From [[Media:Yaya's_Spanakopita.pdf|original scanned sheet]] and input from Jen.

Ingredients:
* 4 lbs spinach, washed, stemmed, chopped
* 9 eggs
* 1 lb feta, crumbled
* 12 oz cottage cheese
* 2-3 bunches green onions
* 2 tsp dried basil
* 2 tsp dried oregano
* 6 cloves garlic, chopped fine
* 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
* package of filo dough
* butter
* olive oil

Method:
# Saute the onion in a little olive oil until soft, but not brown.
# Add spices (basil, oregano, pepper)
# Add garlic, and cook it for just a few seconds until it's fragrant.
# In separate bowl, mix the eggs, add chopped spinach and cheese. Then add in the garlic/onion mixture and mix well.
# Make melted butter/olive oil mixture for filo layers: Mix melted butter and olive oil in a ratio to your liking, totalling about 3/4 cup.
# In a 9x13 baking dish, layer 8 sheets filo, brushing each layer with the butter/olive oil mixture.
# Add filling and smooth it flattish.
# Top with more buttered filo (another 6-8 sheets). Cut the top few sheets of filo to mark the serving sizes - this keeps the top layers of filo from shattering when you cut it for service.
# Bake at 375F for 45 - 55 minutes.
