1. Saut onions in butter until soft.

2. Add spinach and saut a few minutes longer; cool.

3. Add cream cheese, Feta, eggs, salt and pepper; mix well.

4. Place 10 layers of phyllo pastry sheets in a 12 x 16 x 2-inch pan, brushing each sheet well with melted butter. Add spinach mixture, then place another 10 layers of phyllo, buttering each sheet.

5. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes.

7. You can brush the spanakopeta with a slightly beaten egg before baking for a nice luster.
