While spending time with dear friends June and Kevin over the Christmas holidays one year, Carol and I had the pleasure of sampling this fantastic pie. The filling is bursting with flavor and the Phyllo makes a light buttery crust. Even those not in love with spinach will love this!

Sauté the garlic in the oil over medium heat until aromatic, about 1 minute. Squeeze and drain the spinach well. Mix all the ingredients together.

Layer 1/3 of the Phyllo dough (brushing with butter as you go) in a large rimmed sheet pan. Spread ½ of the spinach mixture over the dough. Repeat and top the remaining spinach with the remaining 1/3 of the Phyllo. Bake at 350 degrees, covered, for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 30 minutes or until top is lightly browned.
