Directions
Greek-Inspired Spinach Pie (Spanakopita), 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 , 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
