I’ve always, always been drawn to Greek food of every kind. I love lemon. I love spinach. Feta cheese is my favorite. Dill adds life to everything. And I adore lamb! So if you were taking me on a hot date and you took me to a Greek restaurant, I guess you could say I’d be pretty happy. (I’m married though… so that hot date would have to be with my hot husband).
Is this an authentic Greek Spinach Pie recipe?
No, this is not authentic! This Greek Spinach Pie recipe is a homemade version of the traditional Greek spanakopita with a couple of twists. This version utilizes three cheeses: feta, ricotta and jack. There is dill. There is sauteed onion. This pie makes a great dinner item (my family loves it so I’m going to call it family-friendly!) It’s especially awesome served with Greek Orzo and Chicken Soup!
How do you make Greek Spinach Pie?
My Greek Spinach Pie is made layered with phyllo, melted butter and the spinach- cheese filling. Before I bake it, I score the pastry with a knife so the baked squares will be easy to cut out of the pan for serving. It bakes up so perfectly, and the scored square servings naturally kind of pull apart as it bakes.
The baked pie pieces are delicious! The filling is tender and cheesy and wonderful, and it’s layered with crispy, golden phyllo. It’s a neat twist on the classic Greek spinach pie (or spanakopita). I hope you like it as much as we do!
