    my guess is that yor mix is either to wet or you dont have enough pastry.
    it should be a minimum of 2 sheets(even with all the foldovers)
    also what temp are you cooking it at?
    being spinach and fetta it wont need a huge amount of time to cook so maybe a higher temp to crisp it up

    Leash,

    I always use the olive oil in the spray can - spray fairly decently on the dish & then lightly in between each sheet

    Hope that helps hun

    It's pre-made, so NO idea about the sheets lol. I think theres two. It does seem very wet... is there anything I can do about that?

    I've tried oil, so I'll try egg. Hopefully that works!

    I find the filo it's self makes a big difference. I always use the fresh one in the fridge section (brand starts with A, baby brain is so annoying) not the frozen varieties. I use a greased pyrex dish then brush every second sheet of filo with oil.
