Spanakopita with Store-Bought Country-Style Phyllo Dough

Who doesn't love pies? I think everyone enjoys them. Spanakopita is perhaps the most delicious one. My mom always made different pies depending on the season, always with her own homemade phyllo dough. That's how I learned, and over the years, I made changes, tweaked her recipes, and created my own. But she taught me the basics and made me love cooking.
Spanakopita with Store-Bought Country-Style Phyllo Dough
Who doesn't love pies? I think everyone enjoys them. Spanakopita is perhaps the most delicious one. My mom always made different pies depending on the season, always with her own homemade phyllo dough. That's how I learned, and over the years, I made changes, tweaked her recipes, and created my own. But she taught me the basics and made me love cooking.
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Clean and wash the spinach, then roughly chop it. Finely chop the onion, green onions, and dill. Add the rice, salt, pepper, mint, and olive oil. Mix everything well.
- 2
Remove the phyllo dough from the freezer at least two hours ahead and open the package. Brush a rectangular baking pan (smaller than the phyllo sheets) with olive oil. The package usually contains six sheets. Lay one sheet in the pan and brush with olive oil. Add a second sheet, brush with oil, then add a third sheet without brushing with oil.
- 3
Spread the filling evenly over the phyllo. Crumble as much feta cheese as you like over the top. Fold any overhanging phyllo edges inward. Place the remaining sheets on top, brushing each with olive oil. If there is a lot of excess phyllo hanging over, trim it. Tuck in the edges and cut the pie into slices.
- 4
Bake in a preheated oven at 340°F (170°C) with the fan on for about 1 hour. Let it cool slightly before serving and 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!!

Feta and Tomato Creased Phyllo Cheese Pie (Patsavouropita) :) Feta and Tomato Creased Phyllo Cheese Pie (Patsavouropita) :)
This is the easiest Cheese Pie that anyone can make, even someone who is just starting out in the kitchen. I had some left over phyllo in the freezer, which I completely forgot about and found it this morning. 🙂 Took me a while to figure out what to do with such limited ingredients, tomatoes, feta and phyllo, but then I remembered a recipe my mom used to make with tomatoes and Feta cheese. 🙂There is always Feta Cheese in the refrigerator, (not original too expensive and hard to find, but there is something quite similar to Feta Cheese). and a few tomatoes on hand. This pie actually has the taste of Pizza and Greek Cheese Pie (Tyropitta) combined…quite different taste but ohhh so yummy to eat. Foodzesty -
