 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
                         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)
