Probably the best spanakopita video out there. I’ve been making spanakopita for years. I finally decided to make a video tutorial on it.

This is the only way my kids will eat spinach. They love it! I know that you’re suppose to roll your own phyllo but I simply don’t have that much time. The whole thing took about an hour to make and about 40 minutes in the oven.

  • 2.5 lbs spinach
  • 5 green onions
  • 11oz feta cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 2tbsp fresh parsley
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill
  • about 10 phyllo pastry sheets
  • half cup olive oil

You can add a little salt if you want, but it’s not required.

Note: Eggs are optional, it will still turn out just fine.
