Greek-Inspired Spinach Pie Spanakopita

Features:
    Cuisine:

    This is a variation on a spanakopita. I like a little more body in the filling, so I add ricotta cheese. Cottage cheese makes a great substitute. This is delicious and impressive. The variety of onions really adds a lot to the dish. Use what you have on hand...the ones listed are just a suggestion. You may also brush the filo with olive oil instead of using the spray if you prefer. I find that the spray tastes just as good and is way easier. You may also notice that dill is missing from this recipe. This is a personal choice, as I don't enjoy the flavor of dill, but if you want a more authentic-tasting spanakopita, add some in.
