Heat oil in large pan, saute onions ( a combination of red, green, and yellow is nice) until translucent, about 3 minutes depending upon burner heat.

Remove from heat and let cool about 5 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350, line cookie sheet with parchment, spray.

Mix onion with ingredients through cayenne pepper, spread onto parchment (I like it to be about 1/2 inch depth) and bake for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile make feta spread, mash feta with fork, mix in rest, refrigerate until using within 24 hours.
6
Cool spanakopita filling and chill, tastes best chilled.

To freeze just the filling, I portion it out onto separate pieces of waxed paper and then put in freezer container.
