## 👩🍳 How to Make It
1. **Prepare the filling:**
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until soft and fragrant. Add green onions and spinach, cooking until wilted and any moisture is cooked off. Let cool slightly.
2. **Make it creamy:**
In a bowl, combine crumbled tofu (or vegan feta), lemon juice, dill, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper. Add in the spinach mixture and stir well to combine.
3. **Assemble the pie:**
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish. Layer 6–8 sheets of phyllo in the bottom, brushing each with olive oil. Add the spinach filling and spread evenly. Top with another 6–8 layers of phyllo, again brushing each with oil.
4. **Score and bake:**
Lightly score the top layer into squares or triangles (to make cutting easier after baking). Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until the top is golden and crisp.
5. **Cool & serve:**
Let it rest for 10–15 minutes before cutting and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
