This spiral phyllo pie is made with homemade layers of stretched phyllo, wrapped around a spinach and feta filling that also has dill and green onions. In Albania we call this phyllo pie, Byrek me Spinaq. Today I'm showing you the spiral version of this pie, but you can also make a rectangular pie by stacking the layers.
