Step:

  1. Put all the ingredients for the filo in a large bowl and knead so that you make a ball.

  2. Divide the dough into 13 balls (make the 3 that will go last on top a bit smaller and the 4 that will go to the bottom should be larger).

  3. Cover them with a towel and then a small tray and set them aside for at least 2 hours (sometimes I make the dough in the evening and leave it overnight).

  4. Chop the spinach, wash it and after it drains, salt it. Leave it with the salt for at least 1 hour and then take handfuls of the spinach and squeeze them to remove any liquids. Place them in a large bowl and add the cheese, eggs and oil.

  12. Finally, cover with the 3 last, smaller filo sheets. Score the pie with a knife and pour over it a mixture that you make with 1 egg, some milk and a little bit of oil.
