SPINAKOPITA (GREEK SPINACH PIE) 
3 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen chopped spinach
1/2 lb. feta cheese, crumbled
1 lb. brick cheese, crumbled
1/2 c. cottage cheese
4 lg. eggs, slightly beaten
1 lb. filo dough
3/4 lb. butter, melted
Nutmeg to taste

Oven 350 degrees. Time 1 hour. Serves 20. Defrost and drain spinach thoroughly. Mix all ingredients except filo dough and butter. Put filo dough between two damp dish towels (dough must be damp so it won't crumble). Place sheet of dough in 16x11 inch pan (greased) and spread with melted butter. Repeat with 8 sheets of dough, buttering each one. Spread entire spinach filling over dough. Cover with 9 layers of buttered filo dough. Cut pie with sharp knife before baking. Bake, covered loosely, for 1/2 hour with foil, then remove foil for 1/2 hour. Let stand 15 minutes before serving. This can be frozen and reheated.
