Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Sauté chopped onion in olive oil until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

In a bowl, combine feta cheese, eggs, parsley, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

Mix in the cooled spinach and onion mixture until well combined.

Lay one sheet of phyllo dough in a greased baking dish, brushing with melted butter.

Layer additional sheets of phyllo, brushing each with butter, until you have 4 layers.

Spread the spinach mixture evenly over the phyllo layers.

Top with more phyllo sheets, brushing each with butter, until you have 4 more layers.

Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for garnish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown.

Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

Serve warm or at room temperature.
