Ingredients
10 sheets (#4 or #7) phyllo pastry layers
4 oz (119g) unsalted butter plus 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pound baby spinach leaves
3 teaspoons dried dill
6 scallions thinly sliced
8 oz cream cheese or ricotta cheese
1 pound feta cheese
3 eggs
3-4 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 °F, 180 °C.
Make the Filling:
In the bowl of a tabletop mixer that has been fitted with the paddle attachment, add the cream cheese and beat until smooth.
Add the eggs, dill, salt, and black pepper, and beat together for a minute or two. While the mixer is running on low speed, add the spinach in a few batches. Crumble the feta chhese and add to the mixer and beat together until combined.
Assemble the Pie:
Layer 2 phyllo sheets on top of each other and drizzle each sheet with melted butter
Add 5 tablespoons of the spinach filling on top of the phyllo (spread out) and then bunch the phyllo together to form an accordion shape.
Place the accordion into a 9 by 13-inch baking pan.
Form 4 more spinach filled phyllo accordions and place them into the pan.
Brush the top with melted butter.
Use any remaining filling to make spinach pie triangles.
Bake the pie for 45 minutes – 1 hour or until golden and crisp.
Serve with tzatziki sauce. Kali Orexi!
Notes
Freezer Instructions: Assemble the pie and wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Store in the freezer up to 3 months. To bake, unwrap and bake at 350 °F until golden and crisp. About 1 hour.

P.s. I still need a dolmade recipe
I love savoury spinach and cheese pies, especially this spinach pie !!! Can't wait till I make this !!!!!!!!!
Hi dimitri. Can I freeze spanikopita filling and use at a later date?
One of my favourite!🤗
Γεια σου Δήμητρα με τις ωραίες σου συνταγές. Σήμερα μας έδειξες μια ωραιότατη σπανακόπιτα , πατσαβουροπιτα που την λέμε στα μέρη μου. Πολύ ωραία σου έγινε γεια στα χέρια σου.
What a BRILLIANT variation !
Totally love this.
Buying Phyllo & fresh dill.
Dimitra, do you prefer fresh dill over dry – Taste-wise?
Love your channel !! 💛💛
Hello my friend they look delicious spinach pie looks yummy with feta cheese thank you for sharing enjoy your day enjoy your family and God bless🙏😋💕🌏
Glorious recipe!
Very nice recipe chef 👍👌👏. Thank you for your effort 🌹😋😎
🌺
I'm glad I found your channel 👍
OMG this looks better then the traditional recipe I’ve always used. I’m making your recipe very soon. Love 💕 your recipes!!
🥰🥰🥰😋😋😋
Omg, I absolutely love this recipe.
Just got introduced to Greek food by a good friend. I will have to make this one day, looks delish.
Love how easy you make your recipes.
I love your spanakopita recipe. I've been making it once a month since I found your recipe. It's the best tasting spanakopita. I've eaten a lot of spanakopita in my life, but your recipe is the most delicious one. Thank you for sharing it.
Wow, you make it look so easy. Thank you 👏🏻💕
Absolutely perfect snack!
Thank you Demetra, we love your recipe 🙂
Yassas Dimitra! I've spent a few months on a Greek island recently and I absolutely love Greek food.
Glad I've found your channel.😋
Wow! Amazing. Doing this…
Made this today and it’s so very good!😋
Just tagged you on Instagram with the spiral I made with your recipe.😋♥️
Tried the traditional recipe last year and came out so-so, but this came out perfect and was much easier and tastier than the original…thank you…
Hi Dimitra,
This looks great. If I were to make a half-sized version of this using half the amounts in a smaller dish, would the cooking time still be 45-60 mins @ Gas4? Or less?
Really looks good can't wait to make it thank you
Just made this but next time I’m using unsalted butter or olive oil
Love this, can't wait to try. My stepmom does crinkle pies and they are so crispy 🤍
Bravo Dimitra! This recipe is a cracker. I added 300g of ricotta, 250g of cream cheese and 150g feta and the rest exactly as prescribed. I used one packet of Antoniou pastry (Australian brand) and made about 15 tiropitakia with the leftover mix. Perfect 🥰
It tasted and looked amazing. Will definitely do it again. Thank you for sharing your recipes and making our wonderful cuisine accessible to the world. 😁 😁
This newer version of Demitra's recipe is much easier to do than the earlier versions using a sheet pan. Her spanikopita recipe is so yummy delicious and easy to prepare. I have made this numerous times and the family just can't get enough of it! I do make this often!
Wow Dimitra! I’ve never been to Greece 😢 It’s one of dream places to go to since I was very young. Maybe one day. Just want to let you know that I love Greek food. I love the way you explain your recipes. I’ve made your spanakopita two times and it came out delicious. I’m going to make your tzatziki sauce very soon.
Keep those recipes coming, because I’ll be watching and trying them. Thank you.
Two ways to achieve spinach pie:. Allie Lewis of the old Everyday Food series placed the filling into a springform pan then topped it with phyllo cut in ribbons. The second way is Austrian influenced—making a savory strudel.
Great crinkle trick.
I’m so glad I stumbled upon your video and recipe!!❤
I’ve always wanted to use fresh spinach that I didn’t need to wash cook and squeeze out the water!!
If I had the phyllo thawed I make it tonight. Many thanks for this!!
Now I’m hungry 😂
