My sister has been obsessed with spanakopita forever — and since she moved to Thailand, we don’t get nearly enough time (or shared meals) together. When she came home for a visit, she was on a mission to find great spanakopita… so I took that as a challenge.
Enter this East-meets-West spanakopita spiral, made with rice paper instead of phyllo dough — and honestly? It blew my mind. ✔️ way easier ✔️ insanely crispy ✔️ no fiddly phyllo stress ✔️ that perfect, pillowy spiral
Golden, crackly, spinach-feta perfection. This one’s for you, Tal 🤍
Ingredients:
3 rice paper sheets 2 eggs 1/2 cup shredded roast chicken 1/2 cup sautéed spinach 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella 1/2 cup crumbled feta Sesame seeds Salt and pepper Lemon Instructions:
Start by combining your filling: fold together chicken, spinach, mozzarella, feta and season with salt and pepper. Whisk together eggs on a plate, then dip each rice paper sheet for a few seconds before laying out of a lightly oiled cutting board. Spoon the filling in a line across the rice paper sheets and roll up into a tight cylinder, then gently curve it around itself into a spiral. Brush with a bit of the egg wash and top with sesame seeds. Bake at 400F for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Serve with lemon wedges.

Brother loves the rice paper spiral hack more than his own wife
Thank you!
this is the second one of these rice paper spirals I've seen today…. somebody get Liam to try this please
Maybe learn to pronounce it properly lmao
Shiiiit can’t even lie, love this!
Would it work with tortilla wrap?
Do you put the egg wash on both sides of the rice paper or just one?
Brilliant I’m going to try it thank you 😊
Any healthy recipes?
The pronunciation ….
Fantastic!!
This looks amazing. Do you cook the chicken before putting into rice paper? Or are ingredients cooked before they go in?
Thank you for the low carb recipes !!
