INGREDIENTS
1 pack phyllo pastry, at room temperature
1 pound baby spinach, chopped
2 bunches fresh dill, finely chopped or 3 heaping teaspoons dried dill
about 6 scallions, thinly sliced
15 ounces ricotta cheese, full fat and at room temperature
1 pound feta cheese, crumbled
3 eggs, beaten and at room temperature
about 2 cups olive oil, separated
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
Baking tray dimensions used for this recipe: 18" x 13" x 1"
INSTRUCTIONS
Here are some very important tips before we go on:
1) I can't stress enough how important it is that the phyllo stays in it's packaging until it is at room temperature! Very important. The best way to do this is by thawing it overnight in your refrigerator (since it's usually sold in the freezer section). Take it out in the morning or at least 2 hours before you use it and leave it in it's packaging to come to room temperature. Do not take it out of the airtight plastic packaging that comes in!!! It will be completely useless if it sits out for a long time, it will crumble and nothing will save it.
2) Please do not use low fat or fat-free cheese.
3)If you cannot find fresh dill, you may use the dried form, but less. So for this recipe, if using dried dill, use about 2 tablespoons or enough to suit your taste.
4) Add the eggs to your mixture last so that you can adjust the seasoning if you're worried about consuming raw egg.
5) Baby spinach is very easy to find over here where I live. It comes in all different amounts. You can buy regular spinach that is sold in bunches. Just make sure to wash it very well. Baby spinach is really convenient since it is already washed and ready to use. That said, use what you can find.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Combine the chopped spinach, dill, scallions, ricotta, and feta cheese in a large bowl and using your very clean hands, mix very well. Knead it, crush it and keep mixing until everything is combined well.
Taste the mixture and add as much salt and pepper as you like.
Add the beaten eggs and about 1 cup of olive oil and mix well.
Rub some oil with your hands all over a half sheet baking pan.
Lay 3 sheets on the bottom of pan and drizzle with a little olive oil.
​Place 2 sheets half in the pan and half hanging outside of the pan on all four sides of the ​pan. See the ​video above.
Spread all of the filling inside of the phyllo sheets. All of the sheets that are hanging outside of the pan should go over the filling. See video.
​Drizzle some olive oil all over the phyllo. Cover half of the pie with 2 sheets of phyllo, tucking them under and repeat the same with the other side of the pie. This is demonstrated in the video tutorial.
Take the remaining phyllo sheets one at a time and crumble them in rows on top of the pie. Drizzling all the remaining olive oil on top of them. This will create a crisp, light crust.
​Using a very sharp knife cut the pie into 12 equal slices.
​Place in oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 350 degrees. Bake for 1 hour. The pie will be crisp and golden brown.
Allow to rest at room temperature for at least 20 minutes before serving. This will allow the filling to set.
​Serve!

This was my first time making Spanakopita. I was lucky to start with the best recipe. I made a couple with spinach from my garden and the second time used plain organic whole milk yogurt instead of ricotta. I like the slightly acid taste even better. The third time, yesterday, I used kale instead of spinach since it is what is currently growing in the garden, I love it equally... Thank you!

I’ve eaten a lot of Spanakopita in my life and this is the very best recipe I’ve ever had! I was worried about using fresh spinach without cooking and squeezing out the liquid first, but it came out absolutely perfect without doing that. My entire family loved it. Thank you!

I made this today and the results were phenomenal. Don't skip the lighty crumpled fillo on the top -- it's visually beautiful when it comes out of the oven and adds a nice crunchy texture. The herb and cheese mixture is perfect. I also love how this is made in a 1/2 sheet pan, which is perfectly sized for fillo sheets, and leaves you with enough entree-sized servings to feed a crowd. My only recommendation if you make this recipe is to not change a thing. Follow the instructions exactly, and you will be delighted with the results!

Okay, I never follow recipes on You-Tube, but I was desperate to find a Spanakopita recipe that was as good as what we ate in many of the finer restaurants in Greece. Everyone seems to have their own spin on this dish, that it never turns out good or authentic. I cannot BELIEVE how wonderful this recipe is!! Absolutely DELICIOUS! THANK YOU for sharing it with us.

I have only made spanakopita once before and felt intimidated that my first attempt was soggy and heavy, but after seeing Dimitra's video, I made it for Sunday dinner tonight (along with maroulosalata). I hadn't heard the term "half sheet baking tray" before, so I googled and found that none of my baking pans were the correct dimensions. So my sweet husband was so excited about me making this recipe, he ran to Target today to get me a half sheet baking tray, LOL! This recipe and Dimitra's method is truly fantastic and uncomplicated...it produced the most light, flavourful, fresh and wonderful spanokopita we've ever had! The phyllo dough is wonderfully crispy and there is no "sogginess" that some spanokopitas have! This recipe is a keeper. Thank you, Dimitra, for your wonderful videos. Your friendly personality and clear and concise videos are a joy to watch. I'm Armenian, but a huge fan of Greek cuisine, and your recipe for spanokopita is one I will make again and again.

This has been my "go to" video for over a year now. I've bookmarked it and saved it to my Playlist. It's such a simple and basic recipe and as for the taste, I'll stack it up against any I've had and that includes the restaurants in Tarpon Springs, Florida and Detroit, Mi, two cities with huge Greek influences. I love Spanakopita so much that every time I had it I'd think, "I have to learn to make it" but thought it would be to complicated. That is until I got serious and searched KZbin for a good video. Thank you for posting this Dimitra. I'm making it again today for dinner and I swear I've made it so much, a bit of a Greek DNA is infiltrating my Polish heritage. :-D

This is ABSOLUTELY the BEST spinach pie I've ever had. I have made numerous recipes and even though the ingredients are usually very similar between recipes, this one is PHENOMENAL! I made it exactly as stated but my pan was slightly smaller but not a problem. It crisps up nice in the toaster oven for leftovers. I will use more layers for the bottom layer next time. And there will be MANY more "next times"! I think the fresh spinach is what puts this over the top! Make it, you won't be sorry!

I used a mixture of soft and hard tofu, crumbled (2 cups), 2-3 cups Daiya cheese, 2 cups ground celery, 1 cup ground green peppers, 1tb black pepper, a pinch or 2 of cayenne, 2-3 tb soy sauce , one cup finely blended chickpeas, 4-5 lbs fresh chopped baby spinach. I did same way she did the filo and xvirgin oil but I used 10 layers at the bottom. Bake at 350 for an hr. or less.

My guests were stunned. Any reservations I might have had about working with phyllo were all allayed by the result! When I pulled it out off the oven and set it out on the counter, it was met with oohs and aahs. And I made it! Thanks, Dimitra.

Made this with your Saganaki recipe. Wow this is so easy and not pre-cooking the spinach makes a big difference. Do not skip the instructions to add phyllo on top. It really does make it fluffy. We reheated the next day and it was just as crunchy. My mom did not want to share the leftover for other family members because she loved it so much. Thanks for sharing the recipe. My dad is diabetic and he ate this dinner and his sugar count the next morning was right on.

ευχαριστώ Dimitris. I will try this recipe at home. I worked in the past throughout the Greek community. Those were the best times of my life.

Made this today and it was absolutely delicious. I see alot of people in the comments complaining about the ricotta cheese. I don't know why. The texture was fine and all I tasted was the spinach and the feta. I thought it was a great recipe.

My parents were born in Greece...my mother made her own phyllo right on the kitchen table. Her spanakopita filling is just like yours minus the feta. When she added feta she called it spanakotiropita. She made a FANTASTAC tiropita.. Brought back childhood memories. Euxapisto!

I made this today (just over half the quantities of ingredients for a glass lasagne dish). It was absolutely delicious. I had some leeks to use up so swapped some of the spring onions for leek. I used fresh dill. Lovely! I used a little less olive oil than you (but was still quite generous.) and to my surprise it wasn't greasy or oily at all.
