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.

In a pan, sauté the chopped onion in olive oil until translucent. Add the spinach and cook for 3 minutes until the moisture evaporates.
Cool the spinach. Crumble the feta into a bowl, add the chopped herbs, eggs, and spices.
Mix the spinach with the cheese mixture. The flavor should be pronounced from the feta and herbs.
Melt the butter. Line a 30x40cm baking dish with 6 sheets of filo, brushing each one with butter.
Spread the filling evenly. Cover with 6 sheets of filo, brushing each one.
Fold the edges inward. Generously brush the top with butter. Cut into diamonds through 2 layers.

Tips
Spanakopita is best served warm, on an elegant white dish. It can be garnished with fresh herbs, such as dill or parsley, and served alongside Greek yogurt as a dip. It pairs perfectly with a glass of white wine.
Store leftover spanakopita in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It can also be frozen for up to 2 months. It is best to reheat in the oven at 180°C for about 10-15 minutes to make the pastry crispy again.
