-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Salt
1 Each Onion -- chopped
1/2 Pound Fresh mushrooms -- sliced
Olive oil
1 Each Minced clove of garlic
Fresh ground pepper (taste)
6 Each Eggs
1/2 Pound Feta cheese
1/2 Cup Grated parmesan
1/4 Cup Chopped fresh parsley
1 Teaspoon Oregano
1/4 Teaspoon Dried rosemary (optional)
1/4 Pound Butter
1 Pound Phyllo dough

If using fresh spinach, wash the spinch and remove the rough stems. Place in
large bowl and sprinkle heavily with salt. Rub the salt into the leaves by
thakin them up, a bunch at a time, and rubbing them between your hands; the
volume of spinach will decrease drastically as you do. Tear the sponach up as
you do this. Rinse the salt off thoroughly and dry the spinach, squeezing it in
bunches in a towel. (If using frozen spinach, just let it thaw and squeeze out
the excess moisture.) Saute the onion and mushrooms in a little olive oil and
butter with the garlic and salt and pepper to taste. When both onions and
mushrooms are tender remove from heat.
Beat the eggs in a large bowl and crumble in the feta, add the parmesan, then
the spinach, onions, mushrooms, stir in the parsley, organo, rosemary, some
freshly ground pepper, and a little salt (remembering the feta is very salty)
