Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat your oven to 400 F. Heat oil in a pan on medium heat and add the scallions. Cook for about 5 minutes. Squeeze most of the water out of the spinach and mix with scallions, dill, eggs and feta cheese. Season the mixture with salt and pepper. Keep the phyllo dough sheets covered with a damp kitchen towel. Unfold 1 sheet of the phyllo dough. Brush the sheet with melted butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Repeat the process by laying a second sheet of phyllo dough over the first sheet, brush it with melted butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs until 4 sheets have been used. Cut circles out of the dough that fit as a shell into mini muffin pans. Place the phyllo circles into the pan molds and fill with the spinach mixture. Repeat until all the spinach mixture is used.

Food Joke

Two foreign nuns have just arrived in the USA by boat and one says to the other, "I hear that the people of this country actually eat dogs." "Odd," her companion replies, "but if we shall live in America, we might as well do as the Americans do." Nodding emphatically, the Mother Superior points to a hot dog vendor and they both walk towards the cart. "Two dogs, please," she says. The vendor is only too pleased to oblige and he wraps both hot dogs in foil and hands them over the counter. Excited, the nuns hurry over to a bench and begin to unwrap their "dogs." The Mother Superior is first to open hers. She begins to blush and then, staring at it for a moment, leans over to the other nun and whispers cautiously, "What part did you get?"
