Do not be intimidated by phyllo dough, it is a wonderful ingredient that can be easily mastered and it is the key to this flakey, cheesy dish. The first important step is following the instructions on the phyllo dough package to the letter for thawing. Once you are ready to work with the phyllo, have a few damp paper towels on hand to keep unused phyllo covered and moist. Another important step is getting excess liquid out of your spinach. Make sure it is fully thawed, then put in a fine mesh strainer. Place a flat plate on top and press until the spinach is fairly dry. Follow these tips and in 1 1/2 hours you will have a main dish that will impress your family and friends with looks and flavor. Round out the plate with what else... a Greek salad!
