DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Place spinach in a steamer over 1 inch of boiling water, and cover. Cook until tender, about 2 to 6 minutes. Drain and press to remove all water. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onion until tender, but do not brown. Stir in cooked spinach and continue cooking until all moisture has evaporated. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
In a large bowl combine feta cheese, Swiss cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, parsley and cinnamon. Stir in spinach and onion mixture.
Brush the bottom of a 17x11 inch jelly roll pan with butter. Place 1 sheet of dough in the bottom of the pan; brush with butter. Continue to layer 13 more sheets of dough, brushing every other sheet with butter. Spread spinach and cheese mixture over dough. Continue layering with remaining dough, brushing every other sheet with butter. Tuck edges of dough under. Brush top sheet with butter and, using a sharp knife, score top layer into diamonds.
Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until golden brown.

I can't believe it was so-o-o-o good. I, too, followed another reviewer's suggestions and used a 9x9 casserole dish, two packages of spinach and no cinnamon. Be sure you use a casserole deep enough because it can start out fairly high. I used olive oil instead of butter to brush the phyllo layers, and added some fresh garlic when I sauted the onions. Another step saver -- I thawed and drained the frozen spinach, then added it directly to the softened onions/garlic without steaming first. I can't wait to make this again!

Excellent recipe, I substituted premade pie crusts for the phyllo dough. It was easier, and it tasted great still. Thanks Bea!

This was a really nice addition to a greek themed dinner I prepared for my family on Christmas Eve. I made the pie on Sunday night and cooked it through, and it refridgerated successfully and I warmed it in the oven Tuesday night and served. The phyllo dough was tough to deal with but worth the effort. I served it with pastitsio, tzatziki dip and pita and a greek salad, all of which you can find recipes for. What a good meal!

This was really delicious. I only used two packages of spinach, however, the same amount of cheeses. I used a 9X9 casserole dish and was able to get away with eight sheets of phyllo. I nixed the cinnamon and added garlic and onion powders and some crisp bacon. The family loved this Bea and thanks!

This was very good! Added 2 cloves of garlic, 1/2c chopped parsley, 1/2c ricotta, nutmeg instead of cinnamon and garlic-herb feta. Squeezed the spinach very dry and even the left-overs where not soggy. Will definitely make again. Thanks for sharing!

This is the best spinach pie i've made yet. it is as good as the one in the Greek restaurant that we love here. It took a little time but it was well worth it. I used Athens Filo and that part was very easy. THis is a keeper. THE three cheeses and cinnamon make it stand out. ThANK YOU!
