Instructions

  • Preheat Oven to 400 Degrees

  • Add a piece of parchment paper on a flat surface and rub it with olive oil.
  • Crunch up the paper and then flatten it into the bottom of an oven-safe skillet.
  • Arrange the filo into a large rectangle using 4 sheets of filo on the parchment paper.
  • Brush the filo with olive oil, a pinch of sea salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper.
  • Then add another layer and repeat steps 9 -10 until you have a total of 3 layers.
  • Place the egg mixture, wilted spinach, and nutmeg together in a mixing bowl and stir.
  • Pour the mixture into the filo-lined skillet and spread evenly.
  • Then, fold the ends of the filo over the mixture and cover completely. Pinch the ends together in the middle.
