Spanakopita – Greek Spinach Pie



Spanakopita – Greek Spinach Pie
Full Recipe: https://preppykitchen.com/spanakopita-triangles/

Spanakopita, or Greek Spinach pie is a quintessentially Greek dish that’s a delicious combination of spinach, dill, scallions, and feta kissed with lemon and wrapped in crispy paper-thin filo dough layers.
Filo, or phyllo, dough is amazing… so is butter! Spanakopita has both!

For those of you who do not know, spanakopita is a simple, but oh so tasty, Greek dish made with spinach and feta, fresh dill, lemon, parsley, and scallions. It’s encapsulated in a flaky, paper-thin pastry shell and is a total crowd pleaser!

A FEW TIPS AND POINTERS
* This is a pretty easy recipe to make vegan, sub olive oil for the butter. Aquafaba for the egg whites, use a tasty vegan cheese (I like Kite Hill) some silky tofu can replace the yolks.
*If you’re a cheese lover try adding 3/4 cup of parmesan and an extra 1/4 cup of feta.
*You can substitute olive oil for butter if you’re watching the sat fats.
*Keep your butter warm! As is cools you will add more on with each stroke.
*For an extra dimension of flavor try melting the butter in a small pot with a few bay leaves.
*This is an AMAZING make ahead dish. Just wrap well and keep in the freezer until you have some unexpected
*You will have to make about a thousand of them because they get eaten SO FAST! These are as great as a canapé. These make for a great side to the main course! You can make these ahead and freeze them for an easy make ahead meal.

    Your mom is so super pretty! You can also squeeze the spinach bu hand to save paper towels

    Also- you can make a huge batch of filling and freeze it in separate quart freezer bags. Then defrost as needed overnight to assemble it fresh with the filo

    Also make your mom butter nut squash in brown butter with toasted hazelnuts and crispy sage. As a side dish or over pasta with some grilled chicken/apple sausage and garlic sauté spinach

    I love the addition of the soufflé eggs

    Absolutely right recipe I do mine at add differently I add olive oil with the butter when I used to love do or make my own do e. Extra virgin olive oil 1 cup to or sticks of butter got2b Land O'Lakes salted butter it just comes out much tastier also I don't add lemon and I just mix the eggs in with the feta cheese I forgot why I forgot why she taught me that way but like I said this is a way they did it in the mountain in Greece it's a very wonderful recipe every bite is absolutely delicious
