Suggest a better descriptionRemove phyllo from refrigerator about 1 hour before using. Saute the onions in olive oil until translucent. Stir in spinach and cook for about 5 minutes, letting all the liquid evaporate. (Stirring frequently to keep it from sticking). Add the lemon juice, salt & pepper Let cool. Stir in feta cheese plus ricotta and eggs. Set aside. Remove phyllo from pkg and unroll on damp towel. Lightly butter a 10" by 15" casserole or baking dish. Spread one sheet of phyllo in pan and gently brush with clarified butter. Add another sheet on top and butter again. Continue until 10 sheets have been buttered. Spread the spinach filling evenly on top of phyllo and cover with 10 more sheets of phyllo, buttering between each layer. Chill until firm. Cut into squares just to filling. Brush with top with butter and bake at 325xF. for about 1 hour or until golden brown. Finish cutting into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature. Makes 25 squares. This dish can be frozen assembled, but not baked. Remove from the freezer straight to the oven. You will need to add approximately 15 minutes to the cooking time. You make also assemble the dish the day before and refrigerate until time to bake. I use Apollo brand phyllo dough - It is very easy to work with. Yes, you really must use clarified butter. Please, use a very light hand with the butter between the layers - it doesnt take much and you dont want the dish swimming in butter. Dont forget to make the cuts to the filling layer - before freezing or baking. It must be thoroughly chilled and put into a preheated oven. You can also assemble in the flag fold triangles - I thing the are on the box. Very pretty - labour intensive.
