Divine Kastoria-Style Spanakotyropita (Spinach and Cheese Pie)

A delicious and aromatic spanakotyropita, just like my grandfather used to make 80-90 years ago in the traditional stone bakery he ran in Kastoria since 1923.

A few more tips:

You can skip sautéing the leeks and green onions to save time, but the pie will lose some of its aroma and flavor. Also, the ideal dough-to-filling ratio in the pie is considered to be 50-50 by weight. Adjust according to your preference.

Steps

44 minutes
  1. 1

    Clean and wash the spinach thoroughly, then let it drain well in a colander. If using frozen spinach leaves, let them thaw completely and squeeze out excess water with your hands. Finely chop the green onions and leek, then sauté them lightly in the olive oil for 3-4 minutes in a skillet until fragrant. Set aside to cool.

    In a large bowl, combine the spinach with the sautéed green onions and leek. Add the eggs, lightly beaten in a separate dish (reserve half an espresso cup to brush the pie at the end), along with the salt and pepper. Mix well by hand until evenly combined. Do not add the cheese yet.

  7. 7

    Using a pastry brush, brush the top of the pie with the reserved beaten egg mixed with 1 tablespoon of water. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) on the middle rack, or at 350°F (180°C) with convection, for 30-40 minutes until golden brown. Before removing from the oven, lift a corner to check that the bottom is baked through.

Πολλές κορασίδες μέχρι τούδε χάριν των δια χειρός μου εδεσμάτων θέλησαν περισσότερα από εμέ (ο έρωτας περνάει από το στομάχι), αλλά δεν σκοπεύω πρός το παρόν να γίνω προσωπικός μάγειρας καμίας καλλονής, ούτε κάν της charlize theron...lol.
