kcalIngredients
- For the Filling:
1 lb fresh spinach, chopped 🥬
1 medium onion, finely chopped 🧅
2 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
1/2 cup fresh dill, chopped (optional) 🌿
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped 🌿
8 oz feta cheese, crumbled 🧀
2 eggs, lightly beaten 🥚
Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Phyllo Crust:
1 package phyllo dough, thawed
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted 🧈
1/4 cup olive oil
Directions
- Prep the Filling: In a large skillet, sauté the onion and garlic in olive oil until soft. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the cooked spinach mixture with feta cheese, eggs, dill, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Layer the Phyllo: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush a 9×13-inch baking dish with melted butter. Layer half of the phyllo sheets in the dish, brushing each sheet with butter.
- Add the Filling: Spread the spinach and feta mixture evenly over the layered phyllo sheets. Cover with the remaining phyllo sheets, again brushing each with butter.
- Bake and Serve: Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy. Let it cool for 10 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.
Notes
- Thaw your phyllo dough in the fridge overnight for easier handling.
- For a lighter version, use olive oil instead of butter.
- Leftover Spanakopita can be reheated in the oven to regain its crispiness.
