While I was making spinach rice, I thought, why not make a spanakopita too... and that's how this recipe came about! It's very tasty and quick!!
Cooking Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, add the flour and make a small well in the center. Add all the other ingredients except the water, then gradually add the water.
- 2
Knead by hand for about 5 minutes. The dough is ready when it pulls away from the sides of the bowl, is soft, pliable, and doesn't stick to your hands.
- 3
Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rest for at least 30 minutes in a warm place.
- 4
For the filling, sauté the onions, leek, and spinach in a little olive oil until they soften and wilt. Add the dill at the end.
- 5
Once the filling has cooled, add salt, pepper, crumbled feta, and the egg. Mix well.
- 6
When the dough is ready, divide it into 2 pieces. Use one for the bottom crust and divide the second piece in half for the top layers.
- 7
Roll out the first piece of dough for the bottom crust and place it in your baking pan, greased with oil to prevent sticking. Brush with oil.
- 8
Next, add the filling and roll out the other 2 pieces of dough.
- 9
Place the first top layer over the filling, seal the edges, and brush with oil.
- 10
Add the second top layer. Trim any excess dough so the edges aren't too thick and seal evenly.
- 11
Cut into pieces, brush with any remaining oil, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- 12
Bake for 50 minutes in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) with the fan on, if available.

Enjoy!

Spanakopita with Feta (Spinach Pie with Feta Cheese) Spanakopita with Feta (Spinach Pie with Feta Cheese)
Hi Everyone!! I wanted to share with you this Spinach Pie recipe that my mom gave me many moons ago. I remember it was hard to find Greek products in our area, so once a month we had a day trip to Astoria. Wow!!! that was a long time ago, anyway we would go to this little Greek Deli Store to buy what she needed for the month. She always had a list ready, (and she still does today) with the usual products. Feta, Coffee, Olives, Oil, classic right! I know!! :0Till this day, whenever I go back to Greece to visit my mom, we go to Athens City Center into the old market area…have a cup of coffee, catch up on things, and then go shopping. In Athens the old Deli’s stores still exist with the cheeses, and spices in huge barrels, sausages, you can even find a huge variety of peanuts, I can go on and on but there are just too many products to write down.So, now for the recipe….:) Hope you enjoy making it!!!

From the first time I tried the triangular pastry known as spanakopita, I knew I was hooked. In the city of Duluth Minnesota, on the rocky shores of Lake Superior, there was a Greek restaurant called Natchitos. Tucked in a commercial basement location, the atmosphere, the food, the wine--and the belly dancers!--were a divine inspiration for a young aspiring foodie!Although the source of my inspiration is a restaurant which no longer exists, I pay homage to Natchitos and Spanakopita with this easy-to-prepare, non filo-dough recipe .

Chicken baked with Phyllo & Feta Cheese (Kotopita) Chicken baked with Phyllo & Feta Cheese (Kotopita)
Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone!!! 🙂 Wishing everyone a lovely and loving day!!!So, the weather has been good to us here, we have been having much sun but with low temperatures so this is great for taking long walks with Charlie and just enjoying the outdoors.When we returned from our morning walk, I had all the ingredients ready for this recipe on the counter. If you have gone on vacation to Greece, I am sure some have tried the Chicken Pie, if not well here is a recipe that is put together very quickly. The pie I made this morning has fewer ingredients than usual, reason being is that my hubby has an ulcer so, leek and onions are out of the question so I came up with this version..I hope you enjoy it!!
