Spanikopita

Ingredients

2 cups crumbled feta cheese
5 eggs
2 tbsp flour
3 tbsp butter
1 cup chopped onion
2 cups cottage or pot cheese
2 pounds spinach
0.5 tsp oregano
salt, pepper
TO ASSEMBLE
1 pound package defrosted filo dough
0.5 pound melted butter

Method

Clear, stem, and shop the spinach. Salt it lightly, and cook, adding no water, for five minutes.
Cook the onions in butter, salting lightly. When soft, combine with remaining ingredients and spinach.
TO ASSEMBLE
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit
Spread melted butter on a 9×13 baking pan. Place a strüdel leaf in the pan (it will outsize the pan. Let the edges climb the sides) and brush generously with butter. Keep the layers of dough coming, one on top of the another, brushing each with butter.
When you have a pile of 8 leaves, spread on half the filling. Continue with another stack of 8 or so leaves (don't skimp on the butter), then apply the remaining filo, spreading it to the edges.
Fold the excess filo down along the edges, making tidy little corners.
Pile as many more layers of filo and butter as your baking pan will accommodate. Butter the top-most leaf and sprinkle with a tablespoonful of whole anise or fennel seeds, if you have some on hand.
Bake uncovered, about 45 minutes, till golden.
