I used to jointly own a greek restaurant .. and this was a favourite of mine!

choose your fetta carefully .. a hard fetta is preferrable .. and not too salty! but a little salty is good.

Saute onion and garlic in a pan .. <2>
Add chopped large bunch of spinach .. cook tossing in the pan

Add cracked black pepper and a little salt if desired

Remove from heat

Crumble about 300 grams of fetta cheese into mixture

Add a couple of eggs to bind the mixture

Prepare or roll out pre-made fillo pastry - fold piece into long rectangle

Place one large spoon of mixture into one corner of the fillo and fold diagonally into a triangle and continue up the sheet of fillo

Coat the triangle shaped pies .. with egg yolk and a sprinkle of sesame or poppy seeds .. for decoration.

Place in mod-high oven and bake till browned! It wont take long to brown the fillo as the spinach mixture is already cooked!!

Take out and eat!!!! YUMMMM!!

The best spinach pie you'll ever eat!!

And thats a money back guarrentee from someone who knows!!
