Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Wash and roughly chop the spinach. Mince the garlic and chop the sun-dried tomatoes into small pieces.
Heat a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil, and sauté the garlic until aromatic (about 1 minute).
Add the spinach to the skillet in batches, cooking until wilted. Once done, transfer to a colander and press out excess liquid.
In a large bowl, mix together the cooked spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese (crumbled), ricotta cheese, eggs (lightly beaten), salt, pepper, oregano, and nutmeg until well combined.
Brush a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish with melted butter. Layer one sheet of phyllo pastry into the dish, allowing the edges to overhang. Brush with melted butter and repeat with 5 more sheets, rotating each slightly to cover any gaps.
Pour the spinach filling into the prepared dish, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
Cover the filling with 4 more layers of phyllo pastry, brushing each layer with melted butter. Tuck the edges of the pastry into the dish to seal the pie.
Use a sharp knife to lightly score the top of the pie into desired serving sizes; this will make it easier to cut after baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.
Allow the pie to cool for 10 minutes before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
