INGREDIENTS
10-12 phyllo sheets
4 ounces (113 grams) salted butter, melted
For the filling:
1-pound baby spinach leaves, roughly chopped
6 scallions, finely sliced
3 teaspoons dried dill
15 ounces ricotta cheese
1-pound feta cheese, crumbled
3 eggs
1/3 cup olive oil
teaspoon salt
Black pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 415 F, 215 C.

Line a half sheet baking pan with parchment paper.

Make the filling:

Combine the feta cheese, ricotta, eggs, oil, salt, pepper, and dill in a tabletop mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat until combined.

Add the scallions and beat until combined.

While the mixer is running on low add a handful of chopped spinach at a time until all of the spinach is incorporated.

Mix everything together with a spatula and set aside.

Assemble the galette:

Place one sheet of phyllo vertically in front of you on the prepared baking pan, at the 12:00 position. Drizzle with some melted butter.

Place another sheet vertically at the 6:00 position and allow a small portion to hang outside of the pan. Drizzle with melted butter.

Place a sheet of phyllo horizontally to form a cross at the 3:00 position and drizzle with butter.

Place a sheet at the 9:00 position and drizzle with butter.

Now fill in the spaces diagonally (2:00, 7:00, 11:00, and 5:00) and drizzle each sheet with butter.

Place the spinach filling in the center and gather the phyllo to cover the edges of the filling in order to form a border and crust.

Brush all around with the remaining butter. You may wet your hands to help the phyllo stick together and stay in place.

Bake in the center rack for 40 minutes.

Move the pan to the bottom rack and bake for 10-15 additional minutes.

Remove from the oven and set aside at room temperature for 15 minutes to set.

Serve with tzatziki. Enjoy!
