Steps:
- In a medium skillet over moderate heat, melt the butter. Add the green onions, spinach, and dill stirring occasionally, until spinach has wilted.
- In a bowl whisk together the eggs, cream cheese , feta, dill, and pepper. Pour mixture over the spinach.
- If scrambling the eggs, just stir until you reach desired texture of eggs and serve. Transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle with the chives or scallions.
- OPTIONAL OMELETTE: (Make 2) Stir the eggs gently pushing the outer edges inward till the eggs begin to solidify. Leave it be for a minute or two but continue to shake pan a little to keep it loose from the pan.
- When eggs are 2/3 of the way done, carefully 'flip' the pan with a quick jerk. If you don't know how to do that, you can slide the omelette onto a baking sheet and broil the top for a minute to continue cooking.

SPANOKOPITA
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Heat the olive oil in a saute pan and add the scallions. Cook for 5 minutes or until soft. Meanwhile, squeeze most of the water out of the spinach and place it in a bowl. Add the scallions, dill, eggs, feta, salt, and pepper and mix together.
- Keep the phyllo dough sheets covered with a damp kitchen towel. Unfold 1 sheet of the phyllo dough. Brush the sheet with melted butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Repeat the process by laying a second sheet of phyllo dough over the first sheet, brush it with melted butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs until all 10 sheets have been used. Spoon 3/4 cup of the spinach mixture into a sausage shape along one edge of the phyllo dough. Roll it up. Brush the top with butter and score the roll into 1-inch rounds. Place it on an oiled baking sheet. Repeat until all the pastry and filling have been used.
- Place in the oven and bake for 12 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Serve warm.

Steps:
- Preheat a deep fryer to 350 degrees F.
- In a bowl, blend the spinach, onions, feta cheese, dill, salt and pepper, mixing well and crumbling the feta during the process.
- To build the rolls, in the center portion of each wrapper, add a tablespoon of filling. Then trace the cornstarch paste around the edges of the wrapper. To seal, fold the bottom tip over the filling, and then bring the left and right sides into the center. To finish, simply roll to bring the top until the roll is closed.
- Drop the spanakopita rolls into the fryer. Lower them slowly into the oil so they set. Once crisp, after about 2 minutes, remove from the fryer. Remember they will continue to cook two shades darker. Put on paper towels to absorb the grease.
- Season the eggrolls and serve with tzatziki sauce, aioli or other sauce.

Steps:
- Pack the spinach into a large heatproof bowl. Pour boiling water over and press the spinach down with a wooden spoon. Leave for 1 min to wilt, stirring a couple of times so all the leaves are submerged. Tip into a large colander and place under running cold water to cool quickly. Drain well - squeeze out any excess water by pressing the spinach down with the wooden spoon, then squeezing with your hands. Using kitchen paper, pat the spinach dry into a compact shape, lay it on a board and roughly chop, then set aside.
- Heat 2 tsp of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Add the shallot, spring onions and garlic, and fry over a high-ish heat for 3-4 mins, stirring often, until softened and just starting to brown. Lower the heat, tip in the spinach and stir for 1 min only to finish drying. Season with pepper and a good pinch of nutmeg, and leave to cool.
- Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 and put a baking sheet in to heat up. In a bowl, stir the ricotta into the beaten egg and mix in the 2 tbsp dill, the chives and mint. Season with pepper and a pinch of salt.
- Lightly oil a 20cm square x 4cm deep cake tin. Mix the remaining oil with the 1 rounded tsp dill. Lay the filo pastry sheets on a large board. Brush the top one with a little of the dill oil, then carefully lower it into the tin to line the base and 2 of the sides, with an overhang on both sides. The pastry doesn't have to fit in smoothly - a few wrinkles and folds in it are fine. Brush a bit more oil over the second pastry sheet and this time lay it down in the tin the other way round, so it drapes over and lines the base and the other 2 sides. The tin should now be completely covered, with a pastry overhang all round. Repeat the criss-cross layering with 2 more oiled filo sheets.
- Stir the ricotta mixture into the spinach, then crumble in the feta. Lightly stir it in so you leave a few chunky pieces. Spoon this filling into the lined tin and level it. Bring the pastry sides up and over the filling, then brush a little oil over them. Brush the remainder of the oil over the last filo sheet on the board. Cut the sheet in half widthways and lay one half over at a time, in big folds, to cover the filling and give you a pastry topping.
- Place the tin on the heated baking sheet and bake for 25-30 mins until the pastry is crisp and golden. Leave to cool for 10-15 mins. Remove the tin and transfer to a serving plate. If your tin doesn't have a loose bottom, carefully upturn it onto a flat board, then flip it over onto the serving plate. Serve warm or cold with minted yogurt dip and a tomato, cucumber & pepper salad (see below), if you like.

"SPANAKOPITA" INSPIRED BREAKFAST CASSEROLE
Spanakopita is probably my favorite food on earth, but it's a very labor-intensive dish, and is very high in calories, fat (including saturated fat from the rivers of butter it contains), and carbohydrates (one pound of phyllo dough!). This is how a poor bachelor Greek gets his home cooking on while keeping things light & healthy. This makes a hearty, protein-packed breakfast, satisfying lunch, or a quick & healthy main course for dinner served along side something like dolmades (stuffed grape leaves). By using eggs as the binding agent rather than cheese, you get a huge amount of good quality protein, and omitting the pastry crust cuts the calories dramatically - it also keeps in the fridge without getting soggy. If using fresh herbs / whole onion, adjust measurements and remove excess water by pressing spinach before adding eggs & baking.

Steps:
- In a wide, shallow saucepan, melt butter and add spinach.
- Cook spinach on medium heat until thawed and beginning to steam.
- Add dill weed and onion powder, continue to cook while moving around pan continuously until spinach has wilted and most of the moisture has either been absorbed by the herbs or evaporated.
- Once spinach has cooked, set aside to cool for a few minutes (you don't want the eggs to scramble when you add them).
- Grease a 9 x 13 glass baking dish with olive oil (either from a spray - be sure the ingredients are just extra virgin olive oil & propellant - or put a few drops in the pan and wipe around the inside with a paper towel).
- Beat eggs separately, then add to spinach mixture along with milk.
- Add to greased baking dish, and using a fork, gently stir / whisk around the spinach / egg mixture until evenly mixed & distributed, breaking up any clumps.
- Crumble feta cheese & sprinkle on top.
- Bake in 350 degree oven for 40 minutes, until eggs are set and cheese is melted & just starting to brown.
