Finely chop onions and garlic and fry in olive oil. Wash spinach, drain well, squeeze out if necessary and cut into small pieces. Add the spinach to the onions and fry for 5 minutes. We don´t want liquid in it.
Crumble the feta cheese and mix together with the eggs, ricotta, pepper and dill in a large bowl. Add the stir-fried spinach and stir well.

Then spread the spinach filling on top and do the same with the remaining leaves. Continue to layer the phyllo sheets, one or two-at-a-time, brushing with milk-olive oil, until you have used up all the sheets.
Brush the very top layer with milk-olive oil, and sprinkle with just a few drops of water.
Fold the flaps or excess from the sides, you can crumble them a little. Brush the folded sides well with olive oil.
Who likes to sprinkle the whole with black sesame.
