In a large bowl, combine the cooled spinach mixture, crumbled feta cheese, beaten eggs, fresh dill, fresh parsley, ground nutmeg, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Lay one sheet of phyllo dough in the prepared baking dish, letting the excess hang over the sides. Brush lightly with melted butter.

Score the top layers of phyllo dough into serving-sized pieces using a sharp knife, being careful not to cut all the way through the filling.

Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and crispy.
