Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly oil a 9x9 inch square baking pan.
- Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onion, green onions and garlic, until soft and lightly browned. Stir in spinach and parsley, and continue to saute until spinach is limp, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- In a medium bowl, mix together eggs, ricotta, and feta. Stir in spinach mixture. Lay 1 sheet of phyllo dough in prepared baking pan, and brush lightly with olive oil. Lay another sheet of phyllo dough on top, brush with olive oil, and repeat process with two more sheets of phyllo. The sheets will overlap the pan. Spread spinach and cheese mixture into pan and fold overhanging dough over filling. Brush with oil, then layer remaining 4 sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each with oil. Tuck overhanging dough into pan to seal filling.
- Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, until golden brown. Cut into squares and serve while hot.

TRANSFORMED SPINACH MUSHROOM QUICHE
This moist vegetarian quiche is perfect for every meal. The quiche was originally a quiche Lorraine, but has since been transformed. Feel free to add sausage if you choose. I usually make 2 large pies or several small ones all at one time, freezing whatever is left over.

SPINACH, MUSHROOM, AND FETA PIE
This phyllo pie is absolutely beautiful! I serve it often for brunch. It's a version of the Greek spanakopita, but with mushrooms and a more complex flavor. You can make this recipe into filled triangles for appetizers or small individual 4-inch tortes for a showy presentation. The bread crumbs between the layers of phyllo add a wonderful crunch.

Steps:
- Prepare a medium heat fire (375°F) in a wood-fired oven or cooker. Brush an 8-inch springform pan with olive oil.
- To make the filling, heat the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat and sauté the onions for 5 minutes. Add the spinach and sauté for another 5 minutes. Add the white wine and cook until the liquid is mostly evaporated. Add the capers, salt, and white pepper. Remove from the heat, stir in the dill, and let cool. Stir in the feta.
- Sauté or oven-roast the mushrooms separately in 2 tablespoons of olive oil with a little salt until almost dry. Remove from the heat. Season with white pepper and more salt if needed. Set aside in separate bowls.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and stir in the remaining olive oil. Set aside and keep warm.
- Combine the bread crumbs, dill, thyme, pimentón, zest, and salt in bowl. Set aside.
- Lay the phyllo on a work space and cover with a kitchen towel, then damp paper towels.
- On a cutting board, lay one pastry sheet lengthwise and, starting in the center, brush to the edges with the butter mixture. Generously sprinkle with the breadcrumb mixture. Cover with another sheet and brush with the butter mixture as before. Generously sprinkle with more of the bread-crumb mixture. Cover with a third sheet and brush again. Cut about 2 inches off one short side. Gently place the stacked sheets in the springform pan, pressing down to the bottom and draping the excess over the edges of the pan. Fill with the shiitake mushrooms.
- Repeat the phyllo layering process with three more sheets of pastry, the butter mixture, and the bread crumbs. Cut about 2 inches off one short side. Gently place these sheets in the springform pan, pressing down over the mushrooms and draping the excess over the edges of the pan. Fill with half of the spinach-onion mixture.
- Repeat the phyllo layering process and trimming again. Layer in the pan as before, and fill with the oyster mushrooms.
- Repeat the phyllo layering process, trimming, and layering in the pan. Fill with the remaining spinach-onion mixture. Cover with the bread-crumb mixture. Fold all the excess draped phyllo into the center to cover the spinach-onion mixture and create the top crust.
- Generously brush with the butter mixture and bake in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the crust is crisp. Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes before removing from the springform pan. Cut into wedges and serve warm.
CHEF JOHN'S SPINACH AND FETA PIE
This is great for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, either hot, warm, or cold! This reminds me of spanakopita, a Greek spinach pastry.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Heat butter in a large oven-safe skillet over high heat. Toss spinach in hot butter until wilted, about 30 seconds. Drain spinach well and squeeze it as dry as possible. Transfer to a cutting board and chop.
- Beat eggs in a bowl with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper until thoroughly combined.
- Place bacon in the same skillet used to cook spinach and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until bacon has rendered its fat and is almost crisp, 5 to 8 minutes. Use a paper towel held in a tongs to remove excess bacon grease. Reduce heat to medium; saute onion with bacon and a pinch of salt until onion is translucent, about 5 more minutes.
- Saute chopped spinach with bacon and onion until spinach is hot; pour in eggs. Use a wooden spoon to distribute spinach evenly throughout the eggs. Sprinkle feta cheese over mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven until eggs are set, 10 to 15 minutes. Top may still be a little wet.
- Turn on oven's broiler. Broil pie until top is lightly golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.

Steps:
- STEP 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. If your frozen spinach is not already thawed, thaw it in the microwave. Empty the box into a colander and let it drain while you begin to prepare the rest.
- STEP 2: Quickly rinse the mushrooms and slice them thinly. Place the sliced mushrooms in a skillet coated with non-stick spray, add the minced garlic, and sprinkle a little salt and pepper. Turn the heat on to medium-high and saute the mushrooms until they release all of their moisture and no more water remains on the bottom of the skillet (5-7 minutes).
- STEP 3: Spray a pie dish with non-stick spray. Squeeze the rest of the water out of the spinach and spread it out on the bottom of the pie dish. Next add the cooked mushrooms and crumbled feta.
- STEP 4: In a medium bowl whisk together the eggs until fairly smooth. Add the milk, parmesan, and another small sprinkle of pepper. Whisk to combine. (This step can be completed while the mushrooms are cooking) Pour this mixture into the pie dish over the spinach, mushrooms, and feta.
- STEP 5: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over top. Place the pie dish on a baking sheet for easy transfer into the oven. Place the quiche into the preheated oven and bake until it is golden brown on top and the center is solid. Every oven is different but this should take between 45 minutes and an hour. Slice and serve!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a medium saute pan on medium heat, saute the onions with the olive oil until translucent and slightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the salt and pepper and allow to cool slightly. Squeeze out and discard as much of the liquid from the spinach as possible. Put the spinach into a bowl and then gently mix in the onions, eggs, nutmeg, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, feta, and pignoli. Butter an ovenproof, nonstick, 8-inch saute pan and line it with 6 stacked sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each with melted butter and letting the edges hang over the pan. Pour the spinach mixture into the middle of the phyllo and neatly fold the edges up and over the top to seal in the filling. Brush the top well with melted butter. Bake for 1 hour, until the top is golden brown and the filling is set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Serve at room temperature.
