Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a large skillet, saute onion in 2 T. butter until tender; remove from heat. Stir in spinach, feta and cottage cheeses, eggs, bread crumbs, salt, dill and pepper.
Use 1 package of phyllo sheets. (Save remaining phyllo for another use, or perhaps double this recipe). Melt remaining butter.
Layer and brush 5 phyllo sheets with melted butter. Keep remaining phyllo covered to avoid drying out.
Cut buttered sheets lengthwise into 2 inch strips; cut in half widthwise. Place 1 heaping T. filling at one end of each strip; fold into a triangle, as you would fold a flag.
Place on an un-greased baking sheet; brush with butter.
Bake 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve warm.
