Advice
Squeeze the spinach very dry; excess moisture makes soggy layers. Lightly spoon the custard between stacks—just enough to moisten, not flood.
Why it works
Alternating thinly brushed phyllo with a thick, dryish spinach–cheese filling keeps the base crisp; a modest yogurt–egg soak binds slices so they hold tall and cut clean.
Twist
Herzegovina-style blitva: swap part or all of the spinach for Swiss chard (well-squeezed) and add a teaspoon of cream to the custard for a softer center.
