Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly oil a 9x9 inch square baking pan.
- Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onion, green onions and garlic, until soft and lightly browned. Stir in spinach and parsley, and continue to saute until spinach is limp, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- In a medium bowl, mix together eggs, ricotta, and feta. Stir in spinach mixture. Lay 1 sheet of phyllo dough in prepared baking pan, and brush lightly with olive oil. Lay another sheet of phyllo dough on top, brush with olive oil, and repeat process with two more sheets of phyllo. The sheets will overlap the pan. Spread spinach and cheese mixture into pan and fold overhanging dough over filling. Brush with oil, then layer remaining 4 sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each with oil. Tuck overhanging dough into pan to seal filling.
- Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, until golden brown. Cut into squares and serve while hot.

GREEK SWISS CHARD PIE
You may be familiar with Spanakopita, the Greek spinach pie, and this is very similar. I prefer sturdier greens like chard to spinach, because they retain their dark green color and fresh flavor better when cooked for a long time in the phyllo dough.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil while you stem and wash the greens. Wash them in 2 changes of water, lifting them from the water so that the dirt stays behind. Fill a bowl with ice water. When the water comes to a boil, add the chard and blanch for 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon or a skimmer, transfer to the ice water. Let sit just until cool, a few minutes, then drain and squeeze out excess water by taking up bunches of the greens, making a fist around them and squeezing. Chop coarsely and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Oil or butter a 10-inch tart or cake pan (I like to use a ceramic dish for this). Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the onions. Cook, stirring often, until tender but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for another 30 seconds to a minute, until the garlic is fragrant. Stir in the greens, herbs, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and stir the mixture for a minute, until the greens are coated with oil. Remove from the heat.
- Beat the eggs in a large bowl or the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. If you are not using phyllo dough for this, remove 2 tablespoons of the beaten eggs, for brushing the crust, and crumble or blend in the feta. Toss with the greens, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Line the pie dish with two-thirds of the dough, or with 7 pieces of phyllo, lightly brushing each piece with butter or oil and turning the dish after each addition so that the edges of the phyllo drape evenly over the pan. Fill with the greens mixture. If using phyllo, fold the draped edges in over the filling, lightly brushing the folded in sheets of phyllo ,then layer the remaining 5 pieces on top, brushing each piece with butter or olive oil. Stuff the edges into the sides of the pan. For pie dough, roll out the other piece of the dough and place over the filling. Crimp the bottom and top edges together, then pinch an attractive fluted edge all the way around the rim of the pie. Brush the top with the beaten egg you set aside, and make a few slashes in the top crust so that steam can escape as the pie bakes.
- Bake 40 to 50 minutes in the preheated oven, until the crust is golden. Serve hot, warm, or room temperature.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and coat with the 3 tablespoons of oil. When the oil is hazy, add the leeks and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant and very soft, about 4 minutes. Add the spinach in handfuls, folding the leaves under with a spoon as you add each batch. Let the spinach wilt and cook down before adding more. Once all the spinach is in the pan, season with the pepper.
- Remove from the heat and transfer the spinach mixture to a colander over the sink. Using the back of a spoon, gently press out all of the excess liquid. Set aside to cool; the filling needs to cool down a bit to prevent the dough from becoming soggy. Once the mixture is cool, add the feta, dill, mint, and eggs. Fold the ingredients together until well combined.
- Brush the bottom and sides of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with oil. Working with 1 sheet at a time, lay the dough on a lightly floured surface and roll it out slightly to fit the pan. Line the bottom of the dish with the first piece of dough, pressing into the corners. Trim off any excess with a paring knife. Spread the spinach filling evenly over the dough. Cover with the second sheet of dough, trimming around the edges of the dish. Brush the top with oil.
- Bake until the top is puffed and golden brown, about 30 to 35 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Shred the chard leaves, then tip into a large pan over a medium heat with 2 tbsp water. Cook for a few minutes until just wilted. Remove from the heat, drain and leave to cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, squeeze out the excess water using your hands or in kitchen paper. Transfer the chard leaves to a large bowl.
- Roughly chop the chard stalks. Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in the pan and fry the stalks over a medium heat with the spring onions for 8 mins until softened. Tip into the bowl with the chard leaves.
- Crumble the feta into the bowl and season, then mix in the dill, mint, lemon zest, nutmeg and eggs.
- Unwrap the filo pastry (you'll have about seven sheets) and lay one of the sheets into the base of a medium roasting tin (our was 30 x 25cm). Brush with a little of the remaining olive oil and place another sheet on top. Repeat until you've used four sheets (or about half the filo) and half the remaining olive oil. Spoon the chard filling over the filo and gently spread out to cover. Lay another sheet of filo on top, brush with more oil and repeat until you've used all the remaining filo pastry and almost all of the olive oil. Trim the pastry, if needed, or tuck it under to form a pie. Will keep frozen for up to two months. Defrost completely before cooking. Brush with the last of the olive oil and bake for 35-40 mins until golden. Leave to cool slightly and serve warm.

- Preheat oven to 350°F. Bring water to a boil in a large Dutch oven. Add 1/4 cup of the salt, stirring until dissolved. Add chard; cook 2 minutes. Drain chard; spread in an even layer on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Let cool 5 minutes. Squeeze remaining water out of chard; pat dry with paper towels.
- Heat oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add onions; cook, stirring often, until golden, 7 to 9 minutes. Add scallions and garlic; cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Add chard; cook, stirring often, until wilted and tender, about 7 minutes. Add parsley, mint, and oregano; cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Remove from heat, and transfer mixture to a large bowl. Cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Stir in feta cheese, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, pine nuts, pepper, and remaining 1 1/4 teaspoons salt. Set aside.
- Melt remaining 1/2 cup butter in a small saucepan. Fit 1 phyllo sheet into a lightly greased 9 1/2-inch deep-dish pie plate, allowing edges to evenly hang over sides. Brush with a small amount of melted butter. Place another phyllo sheet directly on top of the first, and brush with butter. Rotate pie plate slightly, about 45°, and repeat process with an additional 2 phyllo sheets and butter. Repeat procedure with remaining phyllo sheets, rotating pie plate about 45° after every 2 phyllo sheets.
