Spanakopita

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.

Heat oil in a small skillet. Add onion and garlic. Cook and stir over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until softened; cool. Meanwhile, combine eggs, dill, lemon, and salt. Stir in spinach, feta cheese, parsley, and onion mixture until well-combined.

To assemble, place 1 sheet of phyllo dough vertically on the prepared baking sheet; lightly spray with cooking spray. Repeat layering, rotating phyllo dough at 1-, 3-, and 5-o'clock positions. 

Spoon spinach mixture in center of phyllo and spread in a 7-inch circle. Carefully fold phyllo over spinach, keeping the center exposed. Cover center with foil. Spray outside of phyllo dough with cooking spray. 

Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until phyllo is lightly golden brown. Remove foil. Serve warm or at room temperature. Garnish with dill fronds, pine nuts, and/or lemon zest, if desired.
