Cooking Instructions
- 1
First, make the dough by adding all the ingredients together and kneading well until you have a soft dough that doesn't stick to your hands.
- 2
While the dough rests for about 40 minutes, prepare the filling.
- 3
Wash the spinach, finely chop the green onions and parsley. Add the eggs, feta cheese, salt (be careful not to add too much since feta is salty), and pepper.
- 4
Once the dough has rested, cut it into 8 equal pieces on a floured surface. Prepare a small bowl with olive oil for brushing the dough layers.
- 5
Start by rolling out the first dough ball to about the size of a plate. Set it aside and brush the top with oil. Repeat with the next 3 dough balls, stacking each on top and brushing with oil, except for the last one. You should have two stacks of 4 dough layers each, arranged dough-oil-dough-oil-dough-oil-dough.
- 6
After preparing the stacks, flour your surface again and roll out the first stack (one at a time) so it covers your entire baking pan.
- 7
Brush the baking pan with oil, spread the first phyllo sheet evenly, add all the filling, then top with the second phyllo sheet and seal the edges.
- 8
Finally, cut the pie, sprinkle with water, oil, and sesame seeds. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C), top and bottom heat, until golden brown.

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!!!

Spanakopita Wonton Cups Spanakopita Wonton Cups
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 -

Pasta Pie (Makaronopita) Pasta Pie (Makaronopita)
Hi guys, I hope you are all well….I am trying to get myself organised again, and as they say trying to get into the groove of things. hahahaha. I thought I would start off the morning by taking Charlie for a nice long walk with a good friend and her dog. I kept bumping into the poor woman because Charlie is young and he wants to play with her dog who wanted to play too but due to a bit of small I won’t say big knee problem I was worried he might throw her down on the ground. We had a great walk laughed and talked and so enjoy her company. The weather started out foggy but turned into a beautiful day with sun and actually warm. 🙂I had already decided what I was going to make today so the ingredients were waiting for me on the kitchen counter. 🙂 Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to make my own Tomato sauce like I usually do, because our local supermarket did not have the rest of the ingredients I needed, so I used a store bought Tomato sauce which is just as good. Pies or Pites are a tradition in Greece, if not every week at least every other week you would always have some sort of Pita, that being Spinach pie, or Cheese or Meat pie, 🙂 so today I made this fantastic Pasta pie with a variety of vegetables. The best part about this pie is that you can make this mixture the previous day and leave in the fridge overnight of course without adding the eggs.I hope you enjoy this recipe :) Foodzesty -
Greek Baklava Greek Baklava
My Greek Yiayia (meaning Grandmother in Greek) raised me after my mom died when I was 6 years old. She is from the Peloponnese part of Greece and she always made Baklava and other Greek foods as well. We lived in ALABAMA so she used the pecans from her pecan tree. This was a task because she gathered, cracked and cleaned all of the pecans herself and then milled them with an old fashioned hand turned grinder that she clamped to the side of the kitchen table. She made everything from scratch and I am truly blessed to be raised by her !! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ #baklava #greek ⚡Welderwoman⚡ -

Authentic Homemade Puff Pastry Authentic Homemade Puff Pastry
This puff pastry is a family recipe passed down to me from my mom. Frozen puff pastry is easy to use, but homemade puff pastry is truly delicious.I think it's better to make the crust in a cool place so the butter won't melt. The dough won't come together easily at first, but don't give up. As you continue rolling it out and folding it, it will come together. Recipe by Bulgari angel cookpad.japan -
Crispy Samosas with Easy Homemade Wrappers Crispy Samosas with Easy Homemade Wrappers
I had some really good samosas at a restaurant and made them again at home! I used a recipe from a cookbook and omitted the butter and decreased the vegetable oil for a healthier result.Homemade samosa wrappers are seriously delicious! You can fill them with whatever you want. If you use ground meat, it will harden just a bit when cooled so it's easy to work with.If you don't want to use oil in the wrappers, I recommend this recipe -. They are gyoza skins made with egg but will still be crispy when fried. For 8 samosas. Recipe by Kuminchan cookpad.japan
