Spanakopita is a traditional pie that is a staple at any Greek feast. The main feature of spanakopita is the thinnest phyllo dough, which is used to wrap the spinach, onion and feta filling. The recipe allows for liberties: instead of fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach, and instead of feta, you can use any brine cheese. To make a Greek spinach pie, follow our video instructions.
