2. Sauté the chopped onion in a pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil until translucent.
3. Add the ground meat to the pan and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
4. Remove from heat and stir in 1/3 of the chopped spinach and 1/4 cup of the feta cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Transfer 1/3 of the meat mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
6. In a bowl, whisk together 2 eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
7. Pour the egg mixture over the meat layer in the baking dish.
8. Bake for 10 minutes.
9. Meanwhile, prepare the middle layer: In a bowl, combine another 1/3 of the meat mixture, 1/3 of the spinach, and 1/4 cup of the feta cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
10. After 10 minutes, carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and spread the middle layer evenly over the first layer.
11. Whisk together 2 more eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper and pour over the middle layer.
12. Bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until the middle layer is set.
13. Prepare the top layer: Combine the remaining meat mixture, spinach, feta cheese, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
14. Spread the top layer over the middle layer.
15. Whisk the remaining 2 eggs and pour over the top layer.
16. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the top layer is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
