Ingredients:
1 package of buckwheat hand-rolled dough sheets (Yovana)
2 teaspoons olive oil
3 stalks green onion
6 cups spinach
1 bunch parsley
300 g cheese
2 eggs
Salt and pepper to taste
60 g butter
30 g olive oil
Sesame seeds for sprinkling
Instructions:
1. In a pan, heat the olive oil and briefly sauté the green onion. Add the chopped spinach and finely chopped parsley, and cover to steam until the spinach reduces in volume.
2. Remove the mixture from heat and stir in the crumbled cheese and eggs, seasoning with salt and pepper.
3. In a baking dish, lay out the dough sheets sheets, ensuring that half of each sheet hangs over the edge of the dish for later covering. Brush each sheet with melted butter.
4. Pour the spinach mixture onto the sheets and fold them over to cover it.
5. Brush the top of the banitsa with additional melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
6. Bake in a preheated oven at 170 degrees Celsius (340 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 30 minutes. If the top browns too quickly, cover it with aluminum foil or switch to using only the bottom heating element of the oven.
