Step 1
Heat oven to 375°F. Mix spinach, feta, garlic, dill, and nutmeg in a bowl until combined.
Step 2
Whisk milk and egg together. Brush a 9×13-inch sheet pan lightly with the mixture.
Step 3
Lay 1 phyllo sheet on the pan, brush with egg wash. Repeat 3 more times (4 sheets total).
Step 4
Spread spinach-feta filling evenly over phyllo, leaving a 1-inch border.
Step 5
Layer remaining 4 phyllo sheets on top, brushing each with egg wash. Brush the top generously.
Step 6
Bake until phyllo is deep golden, edges are crispy, and water sizzles when flicked on the pan, 18–20 minutes.
Step 7
Cool 3 minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm.
