Instructions

In a medium bowl, add a block of cream cheese, drained spinach (be sure to squeeze excess water very well), mozzarella and feta. Use a silicone spatula to thoroughly combine the spinach mixture until it is blended together.
8 ounces room temperature cream cheese, 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 3/4 cup feta cheese crumbles, 10 ounces thawed and drained frozen spinach
Brush melted butter onto the bottom of a 13x9 baking dish or baking sheet. You will want a baking sheet that comes up at least an inch on all sides. Add a sheet of phyllo dough. Brush the phyllo dough with melted butter.
8 Tablespoons melted butter or ghee, 16 ounces phyllo dough sheets
Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have used half of the layers of phyllo dough.
Scoop all of the spinach pie filling onto the prepared phyllo dough. Gently spread the spinach pie mixture evenly across the top of the phyllo.
Add more layers of phyllo dough and melted butter, alternating between the two. Cut your Egyptian goulash into pieces.
Whisk milk, eggs, salt and pepper and pour it over the spinach pie, be sure to leave all the pieces assembled in the baking dish. Let sit for 15-20 minutes to soak up the mixture.
2 large eggs, 3/4 cup whole milk, salt and pepper to taste
Bake in the oven at 375 degrees for 30-35 minutes. Your goal is to have a golden brown crust when you pull it out of the oven! Allow it to cool for about 10 minutes, and serve warm.
