Spinach Pie - Börek (Turkish Food)
"Börek" is the generic name for Turkish pies.
There's various kinds of these pies, but this is the most popular.
In Turkey, they use flatbread, but in Japan, I make do with spring roll wrappers.
The baking dish should be about the size of the spring roll wrappers, but to keep the egg mixture from boiling over, it's best to use a rather tall dish.
Other than the spinach and cheese, you can also stuff this with fillings such as white cheese & parsley or ground meat & potato. Recipe by Jorogumo

Spinach Pie Spinach Pie
This dish is perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner.I love spinach. The first time I made this because I was given a bunch of free spinach from a grocery store tossing it out. The amount of flour may be adjusted next time I make it. It may need a little more. I may toss in a few mushrooms next time. If 2 pies are too many, you can freeze one for another time. The spices are optional. I'm Cajun so everything must have some spice!

Favorite Spanakotyropita (Spinach and Feta Pie) Favorite Spanakotyropita (Spinach and Feta Pie)
I had some feta cheese that needed to be used up before it spoiled, and a container of yogurt that was close to its expiration date. I was planning to make our favorite cheese pie, and I had also bought spinach to make spanakopita. So I decided to combine the cheese pie recipe with spanakopita. The result was a fantastic spanakotyropita that has now become a new favorite in our house. Since I forgot to take photos of how to roll out and place the top crust, you can see step-by-step instructions in the cheese pie recipe here: https://cookpad.wasmer.app/gr/sintages/6197770-turopita-agapimeni?invite_token=91BNVP2U3dh5VqBdtTUYh7DC&shared_at=1604331780
