Fantastic! I served this with some grilled chicken and it was so delicious. I even made my own Za'atar (using your recipe) and added a teaspoon of that. I am trying to eat low carb so this was a great little dish to make and eat with a piece of chicken or fish.

Delicious! Love the saltiness of the feta against the sweetness of caramelized onion. The shape didn't hold up well with mine, so we scoped with spoon. Toke me about 45min, but still slightly runny. I let it sit for a while in the oven after baking and it became less liquidy. Light and flavourful, sort of like quiche without the heavy crust.

This was a wonderful casserole. The flavor is reminiscent of spanokopita filling, and the casserole actually tasted better on the second day. Thanks for the delicious recipe!

This was absolutely delicious. I used one package of frozen spinach thawed and squeezed dry and it turned out wonderful. I will definitely be making this again!

These flavors go exceptionally well together.

Now I understand why this recipe has five stars consistently. This is perfection. Slight substitutions of the addition of two cloves of roasted garlic, a mixture of feta and freshly grated imported Parmesan. Also, I threw in about 2/3 of a cup or so of some locally produced cottage cheese that was close to the pull date in my frig and used Greek oregano. I made sure to use the freshest ingredients of the highest quality because this recipe is only as good as the quality ingredients you put into it. Instead of cooking the pie in a 9" x13" pan I used an ovenproof pie dish. This would be the perfect dish to serve cold at a brunch-quick and easy. Thank you, Mirj! Mazol tov! * Next time I'm in a bigger city I'll have to pick up some more za'atar for this dish. CG

This was really terrific, Mirj. Just for fun, I added a pinch of cayenne and a pinch of nutmeg. I loved the onions and feta together--I did use fat free feta, which I realize is probably a sin, but I am trying really hard to cut back! Anyway, this will be a keeper recipe for us. Thanks!

this is as good as everyone says it is. it made enough to guarantee leftovers the next day, but it was gone in a matter of minutes, it was that good.

Mirj, this was really good! I added somes garlic to the sauteed onions and added some grated nutmeg to the spinach mixture. I served it with a brown and wild rice pillaf and a tomato and onion salad. My husband and three kids liked it. We give it 5 thumbs up!

This is so incredibly good. I have never liked spinach but I can eat it in this. I cook up a pan and cut it into squares and have it in the fridge for those mornings when I don't have time to cook breakfast.

This was awesome ... again! I can't believe I've forgotten to post a review until now! Today I tripled it and it was part of a dinner for close to 100 happy, well fed diners at our congregation. It goes together in a snap and makes the house smell heavenly. Great hot, warm or cold. Ooohhhh maybe stuffed in a pita for lunch too! Yum! Thank you, Mirj, for posting!

a good kid friendly side dish, my picky toddler came back for seconds so it is a keeper. just a little different from others we tried so it keeps it interesting. I enjoyed the addition of za'atar

I doubled the recipe, using only 5 eggs, frozen spinach, and sauteed the onions a bit longer till they were browned. This was really delish! I used a 9x13 dish (for the doubled version). I love browsing through Mirj's recipes, but this was one of the first I've actually tried. I loved that I didn't have to worry about the filo dough. It wasn't greasy or heavy, and very satisfying!

This was very good and simple to make. It was a little on the low taste side but nothing non fixable. I agree with a previous comment, it needs more feta. I used the amount listed in the recipe. My toddler loved it!!! Therefore, is a keeper. I made it a second time but this time I addded more feta, chicken, and lots of garlic. Thanks for a great recipe!

This was good. I used fresh baby spinach and had it with a salad and baby potatoes. I think I would like it better with some fresh herbs.

I made this for a co-worker's b-day. She does not care for sweets, so a savory pie was perfect for the occasion. Like another reviewer, I also added a crust made from crescent rolls (patted a layer in the bottom of my pan and baked at 350 for 5 minutes before adding the ingredients on top) I loved the consistency, it baked up up just perfect looking. I would absolutely add more Feta next time, it needed an extra punch of flavor. Thanks for helping me make a successful dish to share with my co-workers.

Good, but a little bland for my tastes. Will use more feta next time, and think it might benefit from a dash of grated Parmesan or Romano cheese when I try this again.

A wonderful balance of spinach and feta! I made a crust from crescent roll dough, reduced the oregano to about 1 tsp. and added Greek seasoning. It reheats very well in the microwave and makes a great lunch to take to work because it makes your coworkers so envious!

Very good! I'm beginning to learn to like a vegetable my mom could never get me to eat. I baked it in a 7 1/2" round stoneware dish instead of the size recommended and, I guess because of the depth, I had to cook it probably another 15 min. I just waited until it was golden and it came out perfect! Both my DH and I loved it! Will make again. Thanks Mirj for another great recipe!
