Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Add Greek extra virgin olive oil to a pan and heat it up.

Chop 1 onion and add it to the pan, sautéing until translucent.

In a food processor, add parsley and dill, then blend until chopped.

Add the chopped herbs to the sautéing onions.

Add 150 g of feta cheese to the pan for creaminess and tang.

Add 600 g of frozen spinach to the pan and mix well with the other ingredients.

Transfer the filling to a bowl and let it cool slightly.

In a separate bowl, crack 2 eggs and whisk them to use as a binder.

Combine the cooled spinach mixture with the whisked eggs, adding black pepper to taste, and no salt.

Take one sheet of phyllo dough and brush it with olive oil.

Layer a second sheet of phyllo on top and brush it again with olive oil.

Place a generous portion of the filling along the upper edge of the phyllo.

Roll the phyllo tightly around the filling to form a log, tucking in the edges as you go.

Grease the bottom of a pan with olive oil and place the rolled spanakopita in the pan, twisting it into a circular shape.

Drizzle more olive oil over the top of the spanakopita.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes to 1 hour until golden brown and crispy.
