Description
Spanakopita is a classic Greek filo pastry filled with spinach and feta cheese, which is an integral part of Greek celebrations and holidays. The crispy, golden layers of filo dough contrast with the creamy, aromatic filling, where spinach combines with feta, onion, dill, and parsley. Preparing spanakopita requires patience in layering the delicate sheets of dough, but the final result is worth every effort. This dish can be served as a snack, appetizer, or light meal, both warm and at room temperature.
