SPANAKOPITA: GREEK SPINACH PIE WITH FETA CHEESE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Wash and drain the chopped spinach very well. If using frozen spinach, thaw completely and squeeze out excess water. The spinach should be dry before you begin cooking.
- Heat 1/2 cup of the olive oil in a deep sauté pan or large Dutch oven. Sauté the onions and green onions until tender.
- Add the spinach, parsley, and dill , and cook for 5 to 10 minutes until the spinach is wilted and heated through.
- Add the nutmeg and season with salt and pepper. The spinach mixture should be on the dry side; if using frozen spinach, you will want to cook it until any excess moisture evaporates. Remove from the heat and set the spinach mixture aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the feta, eggs, and ricotta cheese.
- Add the cooled spinach mixture and mix until combined.
- Gather the ingredients.
- Combine the melted butter with the olive oil in a bowl. Using a pastry brush, lightly grease 2 (9 x 12-inch) rectangular pans.
- Carefully remove the phyllo roll from the plastic sleeve. Most packages come in 12 x 18-inch sheets when opened fully.
- Using kitchen scissors or a sharp knife, cut the sheets in half to make 2 stacks of 9 x 12-inch sheets. To prevent drying, cover 1 stack with wax paper and a damp paper towel while working with the other.
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Layer about 10 sheets of phyllo on the bottom of each pan, making sure to brush each sheet with the butter-olive oil mixture before layering the next.
- Add half of the spinach mixture to each pan in an even layer and press with a spatula to flatten.
- Layer another 10 phyllo sheets on top of the spinach mixture in each pan, making sure to brush each sheet well with the butter-olive oil mixture.
- Before baking, score the top layer of the phyllo (making sure not to puncture the filling) to enable easier cutting of pieces later. (You can place the pan in the freezer to harden the top layers and then use a serrated knife to make the cutting easier.)
- Bake until the pie turns a deep golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Let cool for a few minutes and then slice, serve, and enjoy.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Thoroughly squeeze any excess water from the thawed spinach, removing as much liquid as possible. Coarsely chop.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant and golden brown. Add the spinach and nutmeg, sauteing for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and mix in the feta, lemon juice, cracked black pepper and egg to thoroughly combine. Allow the filling to cool.
- Melt the remaining butter over medium heat in a small saucepan. Cool slightly. Cover the stack of phyllo sheets with a clean damp kitchen towel.
- Working with the long side of the phyllo sheet nearest you, take 1 sheet from the stack and brush the entire surface with butter. Top with another phyllo sheet, brushing with more butter. Cut crosswise into five 2 1/2 to 3-inch strips.
- Place 2 teaspoons filling in the corner of each strip. Just like you would fold a flag, fold the corner of phyllo over to enclose the filling, forming a triangle, and continue folding the entire strip. Ending with the seam-side down, place the triangles on a large baking sheet and brush the tops with butter.
- Follow the same steps with the remaining ingredients.
- Space evenly on a sheet tray and bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF (190ºC) and line 1-2 baking trays with parchment paper.
- Heat a sauté pan over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the onion and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and lemon zest. Squeeze out the thawed spinach well and add to the pan, stirring well to break it down, and stir to warm it through. Spoon the spinach into a bowl, stir in the feta and season to taste.
- Lay out a sheet of phyllo and brush evenly with the melted butter. Place a second sheet of phyllo on top and brush it with butter. With a knife or pastry wheel cut the pastry into 6 strips, starting from a long side. Spoon a little of the filling at the base of each strip. Fold the phyllo strips into triangles starting at the end with the filling, sealing in the filling as you fold up each triangle. Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling. Brush the pastries with eggwash and bake for 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown. Serve the pastries warm. Alternatively, the pastries can be assembled and chilled until ready to bake.

- Ideally, you’ve defrosted your 1 17.3-oz. package frozen puff pastry for at least 8 hours in the fridge. But if you haven’t, take the 2 rolled-up sheets out of the box and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Don’t unfold yet or they’ll crack. Set a timer for 10 minutes, flipping rolled-up sheets halfway through. If, after 10 minutes, they’re pliable enough, unfold, separate with a sheet of parchment, and chill. If not, wait another 5 minutes. Puff pastry goes from stiff to flabby and sticky in a matter of minutes, so you want to be careful.
- Cut one slit in 2 10-oz. packages frozen spinach. Place both packages on a large, microwave-safe plate, then microwave until thawed, 8–10 minutes. (If you remembered to thaw your spinach in the fridge, you can skip the microwaving step.) Open packages carefully and drain in a fine-mesh sieve. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
- While spinach cools, finely chop 2 scallions and transfer to a medium bowl. Finely chop 2 Tbsp. dill and add to bowl. Crumble 2½ oz. Greek feta in brine into small pieces (no bigger than dried chickpeas) and add to bowl. Grate in 2 garlic cloves and zest of 1 lemon. Season with 1 tsp. kosher salt and ¼ tsp. black pepper.
- Transfer spinach to a dish towel and squeeze over the sink—you want to get rid of excess moisture that'll make your pastry soggy. You’ll be surprised by how little spinach is left, but that’s okay. Chop and add to bowl with scallion mixture.
