Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large bowl, combine the spinach mixture: chopped spinach, onion, eggs, salt, pepper, and dill. Mix well.

Spread the spinach mixture evenly on a sheet pan lined with 12 layers of buttered phyllo dough.

Crumble the feta and goat cheese over the spinach mixture, ensuring it's evenly spread out.

Top with another 12 layers of buttered phyllo dough, pressing down gently to seal.

Cut the spanakopita into desired shapes or sizes.

Sprinkle a little water on top before baking to help crisp up the phyllo.

Bake for 65 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Let it rest briefly, then serve and enjoy!
