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.

Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C). In a large pan over medium heat, cook the green onions and garlic in the olive oil until soft. Add half the spinach, giving time for some to cook down before adding the rest. Once the spinach has cooked down, transfer to a medium mixing bowl to cool slightly. Add the feta, ricotta, egg, dill, parsley, salt and pepper, and mix until evenly spread. Set in refrigerator. Lay out one sheet of phyllo dough on a dry surface. Using a pastry brush, coat evenly with olive oil. Add another sheet of phyllo dough on top of the oiled sheet and repeat the oiling process. Continue until there is a stack of 4 oiled sheets. Repeat process on a new stack with remaining 4 sheets. Cut your dough into 4 sections using a pizza cutter. With a single section, add a spoonful of your spinach mix and begin folding over your pastry, brushing each fold with oil. Repeat this process for the remaining sections. Bake in a preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Enjoy!

In a large bowl mix cheeses, spinach, onion, eggs and dill. Set aside. Remove half the phyllo from the package. Cover with damp cloth. Lay one sheet of dough in a 9X13 baking dish, brush with melted butter. Repeat until the half of the dough has been used. Pour on the spinach/cheese mixture and level with spatula. Top with remaining half of the phyllo dough, brushing each sheet with butter. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown and ‘puffy’. Cut and serve. This is for main course, you can also do in small triangles of dough for an appetizer, but that’s too much work for me! This freezes very well.
