Greek Cooking: Spanakopita (spinach and feta cheese pie)

Probably the best spanakopita video out there. I’ve been making spanakopita for years. I finally decided to make a video tutorial on it. This is the only way my kids will eat spinach. They love it! I know that you’re suppose to roll your own phyllo but I simply don’t have that much time. The whole thing took about an hour to make and about 40 minutes in the oven. Ingredients: – 2.5 lbs spinach – 5 green onions – 11oz feta cheese – 2 eggs – 2tbsp fresh parsley – 1 tbsp fresh dill – About 10-20 phyllo pastry sheets (you end up using the whole box since you can’t reuse the leftover sheets) – Half cup olive oil, maybe more. – Salt Optional Notes: – You don’t really need to add eggs if you don’t want to. It will still turn out just fine. – Remember to squeeze out all the water from the spinach after you take it out of the pot – You should not replace oil with butter since the butter will burn. – Bake it for 40mins in the oven or until the top and bottom are golden brown as in the video. Use a glass dish so you can see the bottom.
