• 3 pkgs chopped spinach (defrosted and drained)
• 3 bunches green onions, finely chopped
• 1/2 bunch parsley, chopped

• 1 Tbs dill
• 1 lb feta cheese
• 3/4 large can parmesan cheese
• 1 doz eggs, beaten
• 1 lb cottage cheese
• 1 c peanut oil
• 1 tsp Accent
• Mix all above ingredients well.  Everything should be chopped fine.
• 1 lb filo dough
• 1 lb sweet unsalted butter (do NOT use margarine)

Using a brush, butter the bottom of a 16x11 pan.  Place 10-15 filo sheets, buttering  between layers, in an overlapping method.  Add the spinach mixture.
When you reach the final layer, fold in the overlapping filo sheets, always making sure to brush butter in between each filo sheet.  Cut diamond shapes into top layers only.
Bake for 10 minutes, or until brown, at 450 degrees.  Reduce heat to 300 degrees and continue baking for another 1 1/2 hours.
