Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1/2 cup olive oil
4 onions (chopped) - may want to reduce this by half.
6 garlic cloves (minced) - may want to reduce this by half.
coarse salt
ground pepper
6 packages spinach (frozen chopped, 10 ounces each thawed and squeezed dry)
1 lb feta cheese (crumbled)
12 cup grated parmesan cheese
12 cup breadcrumbs (plain dried)
2 tsps dill (dried)
8 eggs (lightly beaten)
8 ozs phyllo (frozen, sheets thawed and thinly sliced)

Directions:
Directions:
STEP 1
Make the filling: In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and 2 teaspoons salt; cook until garlic is tender, 1 to 2 minutes.

STEP 2
Transfer mixture to a large bowl; stir in spinach, feta, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, dill, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Fold in eggs until combined.

STEP 3
Divide mixture evenly between two 9-inch springform pans or two 9 1/2-inch deep-dish pie plates; press firmly to flatten.

STEP 4
Make the topping: In a large bowl, gently toss sliced phyllo to separate, then toss with remaining 1/2 cup oil until coated.

STEP 5
Divide phyllo between pies, covering the tops evenly and completely. (To freeze, cover pies tightly with plastic wrap, being careful not to flatten topping. Bake within 3 months; do not thaw first.)

STEP 6
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake until heated through and topping is golden brown, about 1 hour 15 minutes for frozen pie (30 minutes for unfrozen pie).

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
From Martha Stewart. This Greek-style dish can be assembled and then frozen for up to three months. When you're ready to bake, it can go straight from the freezer into the oven. To assemble the pie, press the spinach mixture into the pans, making even layers; then cover the filling completely with phyllo dough slices.
