Steps:
- In a medium skillet over moderate heat, melt the butter. Add the green onions, spinach, and dill stirring occasionally, until spinach has wilted.
- In a bowl whisk together the eggs, cream cheese , feta, dill, and pepper. Pour mixture over the spinach.
- If scrambling the eggs, just stir until you reach desired texture of eggs and serve. Transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle with the chives or scallions.
- OPTIONAL OMELETTE: (Make 2) Stir the eggs gently pushing the outer edges inward till the eggs begin to solidify. Leave it be for a minute or two but continue to shake pan a little to keep it loose from the pan.
- When eggs are 2/3 of the way done, carefully 'flip' the pan with a quick jerk. If you don't know how to do that, you can slide the omelette onto a baking sheet and broil the top for a minute to continue cooking.

"SPANAKOPITA" INSPIRED BREAKFAST CASSEROLE
Spanakopita is probably my favorite food on earth, but it's a very labor-intensive dish, and is very high in calories, fat (including saturated fat from the rivers of butter it contains), and carbohydrates (one pound of phyllo dough!). This is how a poor bachelor Greek gets his home cooking on while keeping things light & healthy. This makes a hearty, protein-packed breakfast, satisfying lunch, or a quick & healthy main course for dinner served along side something like dolmades (stuffed grape leaves). By using eggs as the binding agent rather than cheese, you get a huge amount of good quality protein, and omitting the pastry crust cuts the calories dramatically - it also keeps in the fridge without getting soggy. If using fresh herbs / whole onion, adjust measurements and remove excess water by pressing spinach before adding eggs & baking.

Steps:
- In a wide, shallow saucepan, melt butter and add spinach.
- Cook spinach on medium heat until thawed and beginning to steam.
- Add dill weed and onion powder, continue to cook while moving around pan continuously until spinach has wilted and most of the moisture has either been absorbed by the herbs or evaporated.
- Once spinach has cooked, set aside to cool for a few minutes (you don't want the eggs to scramble when you add them).
- Grease a 9 x 13 glass baking dish with olive oil (either from a spray - be sure the ingredients are just extra virgin olive oil & propellant - or put a few drops in the pan and wipe around the inside with a paper towel).
- Beat eggs separately, then add to spinach mixture along with milk.
- Add to greased baking dish, and using a fork, gently stir / whisk around the spinach / egg mixture until evenly mixed & distributed, breaking up any clumps.
- Crumble feta cheese & sprinkle on top.
- Bake in 350 degree oven for 40 minutes, until eggs are set and cheese is melted & just starting to brown.

Steps:
- 1. Pre-heat oven to 190oC (375oF). Grease a LARGE slab tin.
- 2. Chop the spinach and gently heat over a medium heat in a saucepan until just wilted. Rinse with cold water (so you can handle it, or leave it to cool) and squeeze it out, removing as much water as possible.
- 3. Finely chop the dill, parsley, mint, green onions and feta and place into LARGE bowl. Add the ricotta, pepper and wilted spinach. Use your hands to mix well - I like to use kitchen gloves as this is messy!
- 4. Unravel the first pack of filo pastry. Divide into three equal, lots - keeping the layers intact. Place one lot down in the base of the prepared tin and brush with melted butter. Add the next layer and repeat. Add the last layer and pour the filling in. Use your hands to flatten. Repeat the process with the filo pastry for the topping and generously brush the top (exposed) layer of filo with butter.
- 5. Using a sharp knife - cut the Spanakopita into peices (I like squares) and bake in the prepared oven for 35 - 45 minutes. Leave to cool for 5 - 10 minutes before serving. Best enjoyed the day baked.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly oil a 9x9 inch square baking pan.
- Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onion, green onions and garlic, until soft and lightly browned. Stir in spinach and parsley, and continue to saute until spinach is limp, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- In a medium bowl, mix together eggs, ricotta, and feta. Stir in spinach mixture. Lay 1 sheet of phyllo dough in prepared baking pan, and brush lightly with olive oil. Lay another sheet of phyllo dough on top, brush with olive oil, and repeat process with two more sheets of phyllo. The sheets will overlap the pan. Spread spinach and cheese mixture into pan and fold overhanging dough over filling. Brush with oil, then layer remaining 4 sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each with oil. Tuck overhanging dough into pan to seal filling.
- Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, until golden brown. Cut into squares and serve while hot.
