Spanacopete (greek Spinach Pie)

The roots of this depravity are quite evident in very young children. Babies may not show all the ugly outworkings of sin, but their selfishness is quite apparent. Any time of the day or night they will howl when their little egos are annoyed. Brothers and sisters have noticed how small children are self-seeking. When treats are being given, a “me first” attitude prevails. Small children want the chief attention. It is all self-serving. This all-demanding self-will matures into that of a grasping adult. Though clever devices will make the selfishness polite and genteel, all of life outside of Christ is for one thing – self!... Self is the idol to which all men naturally bow.

INSTRUCTIONS

Here's my favorite "spanacopete" (Greek spinach pie -- sorry if I
mutilated the spelling on that one!). The trick to this one is using
the fresh spinach -- BIG different. And a cookie request from me. I
had these yummy cookies last Christmas. They were basically a
chocolate dough wrapped and baked around a chocolate kiss. Kinda
tasted like a truffle -- yummy! Ring a bell with anyone?  If using
fresh spinach, wash well and chop fine. Saute onion in oil  for 5
minutes. Add spinach and simmer to remove excess moisture.  Crumble
cheese and mix in eggs and dill. Combine with spinach mixture  until
well blended. Line an 11/14/2 inch pan with 10 buttered sheets  of
phyllo. Pour in spinach-cheese mixture. Top with 8 buttered  sheeted of
phyllo. Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes or until  golden.
