Spanakopitas
2 Tbsp. Butter or oil
1 lb. Frozen spinach; thawed
3 Green onions; sliced
3 Tbsp. Minced parsley
1 lb. Commercial Filo pastry |
2 Tbsp.. Chopped fresh dill
1/2 lb. Feta cheese; crumbled
3 Eggs; lightly beaten
Salt & Pepper to taste
1/2 lb. Melted butter |
In butter or oil, sauté green onion until soft.
Meanwhile, squeeze out excess moisture from spinach and chop by hand or
in food processor.
Combine green onion with spinach and remaining filling
ingredients in
bowl. Mix well and set aside. Lay out the Filo sheets,
covering them with waxed paper and a damp towel. Take out two sheets at
a time and keep the rest covered. Brush melted butter onto top sheet of
each pair. Cut each double sheet crosswise into equal strips, about 2-1/2"
wide. Place 1 teaspoon of the filling 1" from the end (nearest you) of
each strip. Fold the strips back over the filling so the bottom edge meets
the left edge, forming a right angle. Continue folding back at right angles
to make a triangular shape. Place on baking sheets and keep covered until
all are ready to bake. Bake in a 350° F. oven for 20 to 25 minutes
or until golden and crisp, turning once.
NOTE- Spanakopitas may be frozen before baking. When ready
to bake, separate while still frozen, spread on baking sheets, and bake
as above, allowing an extra 10 minutes baking time.
