Time 1h10m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 16

For the Filling:
2 1/2 pounds fresh spinach (chopped, or frozen, thawed well)
3/4 cup olive oil (divided)
4 large onions (diced)
2 bunches green onions (diced, including 4 inches of the green part)
1/2 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
1/2 cup fresh dill (chopped, or 3 tablespoons dried dill)
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 pound feta cheese (crumbled)
4 large eggs (lightly beaten)
1/2 pound ricotta cheese (or cottage cheese)
For the Phyllo
4 tablespoons butter (melted)
1 pound phyllo pastry sheets

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.

GREEK SPINACH AND FETA FILO PIE



Greek Spinach And Feta Filo Pie image

Ever tried Greek 'spanakopita'? This super easy (but impressive!) version, AKA feta and spinach filo pie, is incredibly delicious, and equally as perfect for a simple lunch for guests as it is for a midweek meal for the family. It also makes great party or picnic food! Made with just a few ingredients and a very simple but show stopping filo crust.

Categories     light meal

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

7 ounces fresh spinach (around 5 cups (alternatively, use frozen: around 5 ounces/140 grams))
5 sundried tomatoes (chopped (optional), or 5 teaspoons of ready chopped from a jar)
1 bunch spring onions (optional (= salad onions or scallions (US), chopped) Use finely chopped ordinary onion as a substitute.)
5 ounces feta cheese (crumbled)
1 bunch parsley (fresh, chopped)
2 tablespoons dill (fresh & chopped (optional))
2 large eggs (lightly whisked)
5 sheets filo pastry (large)
3 tablespoons olive oil (for brushing over the pastry)
¼ teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 355F / 180C.
  • Pour boiling water over the spinach in a colander to wilt it, then squeeze out as much of the water as you can with the back of a spoon (and your hands!). Chop the spinach and put into a large bowl.
  • Add the sundried tomatoes, salad onions, feta (crumbled), parsley, dill, eggs and pepper to the spinach and combine well. Set the filling aside.
  • Now prepare the pastry. Lightly brush or spray an 8 to 9" loose-bottomed baking pan with olive oil. Then drape a sheet of filo pastry in the centre of it at an angle, with about half of it hanging over the edge. Repeat with the other 4 sheets of pastry, rotating the pan as you go so that the whole of the bottom of the pan and the sides are covered with pastry. Brush lightly with olive oil between each layer.
  • Tip the filling into the centre of the pan, on top of the pastry, then gather the overhanging pastry over the top of the pie, scrunching a little as you do. Brush a final layer of olive oil over the top.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until the pastry is golden and crispy. Serve immediately with a simple salad, and tzatziki if you like.

EASY GREEK SPINACH PIE FOR BEGINNERS (SPANAKOPITA)



Easy Greek Spinach pie for Beginners (Spanakopita) image

It doesn't matter if you haven't made a pie before. This amazing easy Greek spinach pie recipe (spanakopita) is made in only one hour from scratch!

Provided by Eli K. Giannopoulos

Categories     Sides

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 small red onions, halved and sliced
1 spring onion, finely chopped (optional)
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
500g spinach, washed and roughly chopped (18 ounces)
a pinch of grated nutmeg
200g feta cheese, crumbled (7 ounces)
2 eggs, beaten
1-2 tbsps fresh dill, chopped (optional)
1 pack of filo pastry (400g / 14 oz typically) or if you can find some Horiatiko phyllo from your local Greek Deli.
butter
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • If you choose to prepare this Greek spinach pie recipe with commercial phyllo dough, it is important to thaw completely the phyllo dough by putting it in the fridge from the previous day. For the beginners at working with phyllo, check the handling tips before start making the spanakopita.
  • Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
  • To prepare this spinach pie recipe, sauté the onions in a large knob of butter until soft and turning golden. Add the garlic and cook for a couple of minutes. Add the spinach in batches and cook until wilted. Cool, then tip into a bowl (leaving behind any excess liquid from the spinach) and mix in the nutmeg, feta, eggs, spring onion and season. This will be the filling of the spanakopita.
  • For this spinach pie recipe you will need a non stick baking pan, about 20-22cm. Put the first sheet of filo in the pan and brush with butter, letting the excess hang over the sides. Keep going with the rest of the sheets, turning a little before adding each additional pastry sheet and brushing all over with butter. When all the pastry is used up, tip in the filling of the spanakopita and fold over the excess pastry to cover. If you like to prepare a larger pan of spanakopita for a big crowd, double the ingredients for the filling and use a 25*35 cm baking dish. Layer the 4-5 phyllo sheets to form the bottom of the spanakopita, tip in the filling and top with 4-5 more phyllo sheets.
  • Butter the top of the spinach pie with melted butter and scar with a sharp knife. Bake in preheated oven for about 30 minutes until the filo is crisp and golden.
  • Leave the spanakopita cool down for 10-15 minutes before cutting into pieces. Serve the spinach pie with Greek feta salad. Enjoy!

SPANAKOPITA (GREEK SPINACH AND FETA PIE)



Spanakopita (Greek Spinach and Feta Pie) image

You can make this recipe with fresh spinach or three boxes of frozen chopped spinach; fresh spinach will have a better flavor and texture, but it takes much longer to wash and stem. Baby spinach works very well and requires less work, if you don't mind paying the extra price.

Categories     Savory Pies

Time 1h

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2-2 lbs spinach leaves
1/2 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped
1/2 cup dill, chopped
2 cups scallions, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons coarsely ground sea salt or 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons light olive oil
3 cups yellow onions, chopped
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 lb feta cheese, crumbled
14 sheets phyllo pastry sheets
1/2 cup butter, melted or 1/2 cup cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375º F.
  • (For fresh spinach) Working in batches, wash and drain the spinach. Discard any large stems and chop the leaves coarsely. Combine the spinach, parsley, dill, green onions and salt. Let stand in a colander for 15 minutes and then press out the liquid. (For frozen spinach) Thaw the spinach and squeeze out most of the water, leaving just a little to prevent it drying out in the oven. Combine with the parsley, dill, green onions and salt.
  • Heat the olive oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then add the onions and saute until transparent.
  • Adjust the heat to medium, add the spinach mixture in batches and saute until the spinach and herbs are wilted.
  • Turn off the heat and stir the feta and black pepper into the mixture.
  • Butter a 10"x17"x2" baking pan and lay 8 filo sheets in the bottom, brushing each layer with butter or spraying it with oil.
  • Spread the spinach mixture into the baking pan.
  • Cover with the remaining filo sheets, brushing each layer with butter or spraying it with oil.
  • Bake until the top is golden brown, about 30 minutes.

QUICK & EASY SPINACH AND FETA PHYLLO PIE



Quick & Easy Spinach and Feta Phyllo Pie image

I got this recipe in my email yesterday and made it immediately. We had it for dinner, but it would be wonderful for brunch. Although the original recipe did not call for reduced fat dairy products, using them makes this a nice and healthy dish. I used nonfat cottage cheese and full fat feta. The recipe is from Crisco. Cook time does not include standing time - the recipe suggests allowing it to stand 15 minutes before cutting, but mine was plenty firm after just five.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 5

200g bag spinach leaves
175g jar sundried tomato in oil
100g feta cheese, crumbled
2 eggs
