1 (4 ounce) package crumbled feta cheese

No stick cooking spray (I used olive oil spray)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. spray an 8x8 baking dish with no stick cooking spray. In medium bowl, stir together first 9 ingredients.
3. lay one sheet of phyllo in teh baking dish, allowing edges to hang over. Spray completely with cooking spray. Repeat with 4 more sheets of phyllo, spraying and alternating the direction of each sheet. Transfer 1/2 of the spinach mixture to phyllo lined dish. Spray and layer 5 more phyllo layers, and top with other 1/2 of spinach mixture. Top dish with 5 more layers of phyllo as in previous step. Spray rim and top layer with olive oil spray.
4. Bake for 35-45 minutes until golden brown. Let stand 15 minutes before slicing into 4-6 pieces.
