Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 10z. bag of Spinach (Pre-chopped)
- Salt and Pepper
- 6oz. feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 eggs
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, melted
- 1 pound filo pastry sheets
Pre-heat Oven to 350 degrees
Step 2:
Drain bag of spinach to get out excess water. Saute spinach in 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Use tongs to toss. Add dash of salt and pepper. Note: You may saute onions, parsley, and green onions with spinach for taste.
Step 3:
Place cooked spinach onto paper towels. Squeeze excess water out. To cool, I placed the spinach in a bowl and placed it in the freezer for about 5 minutes.
Step 4:
Once the spinach is cool, mix eggs and feta cheese into spinach until combined.
Step 5:
Unroll Filo dough. Place on sheet of wax paper and cover with wet paper towels to moisten and prevent the dough from becoming brittle. Melt 2 sticks of better. I cut the filo dough in half, then in fourths. This is to make triangle pitas.
Step 6:
Depending on how you roll your pitas, place about a spoonful of the spinach mixture onto filo dough that has been brushed with the melted butter. I buttered each sheet of dough, and used about 4-5 sheets per pita. The filo dough is very thin. You may also make the spanakopita into a pie or a casserole dish. Place completed pita onto buttered cookie sheet. I also made spinach tarts. Bake for 25 minutes.
Step 7:
Enjoy!!!!
