Spanakopita is an authentic greek recipe.🇬🇷 Good morning from a Greek-French woman who lives in France but grew up with mom's classic Greek food! A favorite recipe, a dish full of memories that deliciously accompanied lazy Sundays and holidays. Every family has its own signature recipe. In our recipe, in addition to spinach (1 kilo) and feta cheese ( 300g - 400g), we add 2-3 leeks cut into thin slices, 1 grated fennel (gives a great aroma), 8-10 green onions, 1/2 bunch of dill, 1/2 parsley, 8-10 slices of yellow cheese ( emmental or gouda or edam or graviera) and the juice from a lemon. We can also make a large spinach pie in a pan with a diameter of 36-40 instead of small spinach pies. We can also replace the leaf with puff pastry (it is also delicious). If we make a large pie, it is good to add half a cup of tea of semolina to absorb the liquid and not soak the bottom layer of the pie. I'm starting to drool, haha.😄 Thanks for the delicious recipes you give us with such positive energy! Wishing you and your loved ones health, success and happiness!

[@cranberrymorning7490]

Thank you! It was a success! I did need to do just one at a time, and also quickly learned that damp towel does not mean wet towel. Mine were a little oily when done. Maybe I over buttered. But delicious. I'll make them again. 😄

[@vasundharasatish568]

I tried it So good in taste Thankyou for your recipe, made me happy

[@EllieDreamsDownUnder]

I made this earlier in the week and it turned out lovely. The only thing I really did differently was that I added lemon AND orange rind to the recipe, because I just happened to have a lot of oranges lying around. I must say, it added even more loveliness to the flavour. I think I was a bit heavy handed with the oil as I was brushing the pastry, but that is a learning thing and next time I'll do it a bit lighter. I really enjoyed the spanakopitas and will make them again. Thanks for such a nice recipe 🙂

[@aklatifood]

Delicious recipe ❤

[@NanA-lm5ox]

Another winning recipe from the Feelgoodfoodie! Love the assembly line suggestion, worked great. Filling was delish, we used our home grown green onions, parsley and spinach. I added the cream cheese as suggested and a quarter cup of mozzarella. Yum!

[@Feelgoodfoodie]

Aww, thank you so much! Home grown sounds amazing!!

[@4bajanvincies]

I like it thank you for sharing have a great weekend.

[@Feelgoodfoodie]

Thank you! You too!

[@elisaaltomaro4819]

Thank you!

[@kristinheatherstarone6905]

I made a version of this with 1/4 tsp each of cumin and coriander and 1/8 tsp of nutmeg. It added a little bit of depth to it. I believe it was from Tyler Florence Also try adding a small sprinkle of oregano onto sheets in between each layer

[@CookingWithWafa]

Thanks... I made my own version with puff pastry 👍😋

[@dandy193]

We had Feta Spanakopita in Santorini for breakfast, they were double, nay triple the size of these. Lush though and nice with coffee

[@abcangirl]

[@MrDandanhesourman]

Athen's phyllo dough is made right here in my hometown of Cleveland, Ohio!

[@odjourig]

You are awesome

[@odjourig]

You are Awesome

[@Feelgoodfoodie]

Aww, thank you!!

[@harirao12345]

do you have to turn it upside down half way through the bake in the oven so that both sides are equally crispy? Thanks for the recipe!

[@hostesswiththemostess7082]

Phyllo pastry = perfection

[@Feelgoodfoodie]

So many creative ways to use it in a recipe!

[@JeanetteDawson-st1zh]

Yes yes yes yes. Hmmmmm.

[@judysbakeryandtestkitchen1654]

I would love to make this! I’m going to have to use vegan feta cheese, however When you say the spinach is drained, do you mean that it’s squeezed dry to remove the moisture?

[@sharongarner3652]

It's better with fresh dill too

[@forevertruueee]

Is it best to eat them warm? I’m trying to make them ahead but idk if I should

[@heathercontois4501]

Did you squeeze the extra moisture out of the spinach or just push it a little in the strainer?

[@alexandradeavila7058]

I can prepare tonight and bake tomorrow ?

[@zenora66]

Can we put it in freezer then when we need it , we will cook it BUT how it will be when we put it in the oven ( frozen or cold)❤❤

[@marcellaalloway487]

I'm so nervous 😮I'm making these tonight for my son and his fiance never have made Phyllo anything before lol

[@MRiyah123]

Can I freeze these? Xxx

[@SaeedaBano-cf1xx]

Can we freeze after filling

[@farhanwahid7571]

Can I use frozen packed spinach clustered like a ball?

[@mimoh4967]

How do you make the parsley salad with bulgar

[@Daxa-mi5lo]

We can fry? Or just bake?

[@moah9885]

Can you freeze them. If so how

[@nikkisilva9098]

Can you make them in advance and freeze them?

[@mimoh4967]

How do you make Taboli?

[@JewelBlueIbanez]

Also a lot cheaper than buying them pre made.

[@golden22h8]

is it possible to broil this instead of bake? my bake setting isnt working but onky broil 😭😭😭😭💗💗

[@rachelelizabethschneider2974]

2.5-3 inches wide, 12 inches long phyllo.

[@argylemcgoogin3298]

How many sheets for each triangle, just 2 sheets?

[@Feelgoodfoodie]

Yes! Two layers of pastry.

[@muhaddesachowdhury1001]

Is it okey if I don’t use dil? Or is there any substitute for it

[@angelasemowo9510]

Use mint

[@eeejay235]

That looks like a samosa

[@Sd3cinema]

Every time I buy phyllo it’s broken out of the package. I don’t know how ppl do this.

[@dimitriusa]

The trick to using philo is to remove it from the freezer and let it thaw over night in the fridge. Let it reach room temperature for 2-3 hours before opening the package. Make sure you cover the stack with a moist towel as you work one sheet at a time. This process works for me making spanakopita! 🇬🇷🇺🇸

[@mshaikh1]

Also the ones sold in Turkish shops are not frozen and are much better to work with.

[@Sd3cinema]

@@dimitriusa i always do that, it never seems to fail to break

[@JKgaming1]

not greek enough

[@jacklalalaful]

Next time put it in celcius you dollard. You do realise most people aren't in the USA?

[@nathanapplegate5374]

These are a pain to make. The phyllo dough is beyond fragile

[@Mujahid2885]

Fake samosas 😂

[@susanangelcakes5384]

Look b // don't waste my time

[@grantnoroyan4083]

THANK YOU FOR NOT ADDING COTTAGE CHEESE ALL GREEK VERSIONS DO NOT HAVE COTTAGE CHEESE IN THEM! :)
