To a large pot, add the olive oil and saute the yellow onion until brown.

3

Boil the chopped spinach until blanched and still bright green, stirring occasionally.
4

Mix it together with the ingredients in the pot.
5

Add the crumbled feta cheese and the eggs, making sure that the mixture is slightly cool so the eggs don't scramble, and mix.
6

Brush the 1 pound of the phyllo dough with melted butter piece by piece, layering in a large enough tray to fit the phyllo sheets.
7

Then add the mix on top, and piece by piece layer and brush the rest of the phyllo on top.

Mark the pieces with a knife and make sure the ends are tucked in, then sprinkle with a little water.
