Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 and grease a 9x13 baking dish.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the onion, green onion, spinach (thoroughly drained!), ricotta, feta, monterey jack, eggs, dill, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir until fully combined.

Step 3

Check to make sure phyllo dough is fully thawed before beginning assembly.

Step 4

Unroll the phyllo dough and place the sheets between two damp paper towels to keep from drying out.

Step 5

Place two sheets of dough in the bottom of the greased baking dish and brush with melted butter. Continue stacking the dough two sheets at a time, brushing with butter with each layer until you’ve used about half the sheets.

Step 6

Transfer filling to the baking dish and spread into an even layer.

Step 7

Using the same process of two sheets at a time brushed with butter, top the filling with the remaining dough. Brush the top piece of dough with the rest of the butter.

Step 8

Bake for 45-55 minutes or until phyllo is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 9

Serve warm or chilled.
