Tear the stalks off the spinach and wash the leaves well. Shred the leaves with a sharp knife.
Heat the oil in a large sauté pan and cook the onions until soft. Add the spinach and stir over a medium heat for about 5 minutes. Turn up the heat to evaporate any moisture. Allow the spinach and onions to cool. Mix in the dill, eggs, salt, pepper, and cheese.
Melt the butter and brush the baking dish on the bottom and sides. Brush top sheet of fyllo pastry and place it in the dish. Brush another sheet and place that on top of the first. Repeat to make 8 layers of pastry.
Spread the filling and cover the top with 6 or 7 layers of pastry, brushing each layer with melted butter. Brush the top layer well and score the pastry in square or diamond shapes. Do not cut through to bottom layer.
Sprinkle with water and bake for 40 minutes and then cut through, scoring completely to the bottom layer. Lift out the pieces to a serving dish.
Serves 6 as a main course, 12 as a first course. Takes about 25 minutes to prepare, cooking about 40.
