Sunday Funday 🤗🤔🥱
This Sunday was a lazy day for us. Winter time... what can you do for fun? Eat 🥮🧁🍧🧁 and sleep 💤 ...
I decided to make a spinach pie, Greek style. I always have Phyllo Dough in my freezer, just in case I need to improvise a quick dish. Life saver.
Simple ingredients: Feta cheese, spinach, eggs, olive oil, onion, garlic.
The spinach mixture is obvious: chopped onion, a little garlic, sautéed. Add 2 beaten eggs and feta cheese when cooled. Some people add chopped parsley, I don’t. I prefer a stronger taste of spinach.
Layer the phyllo dough sheets as instructed on the package. You must work fast, because they dry fast. The secret is to brush them with olive oil. I hope you have a good brush in your kitchen.
Layer 4 sheets, spread the spinach/feta cheese, layer 4 more and fold the corners.
Preheat oven at 375F and cook up to 45 minutes. Cut in squares.
Don’t eat too much. This is a savory and very satisfying dish. You will feel very sleepy with the belly full, like my kitty. She finds some weird positions to sleep. She is an acrobat and contortionist for sure!
That looks delicious. I love Feta cheese.
Eh, sleeping with an eye open? Typical of cats! 🙃
It is very tasty, but it requires a lot of oil, otherwise those sheets get dry easily. Some people make this Spanakopiteka with butter, imagine! At least I use olive oil! And yeah, this kitty sleeps with one eye open 😼🙀😸😺
We don't have Phyllo Dough in my country..
If we do then perhaps making pastries would be so much easier
Ohhhh ... definitely. I can’t imagine making those sheets from scratch, you need to graduate from culinary art school to get the skills. 😧
