Step 1
Roughly chop 10 oz of fresh spinach and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Pour 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil over the chopped spinach.
Step 3
Add 1 cup of crumbled feta cheese and 1 cup of small curd cottage cheese to the spinach.
Step 4
Add 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh dill, sea salt, and fresh cracked black pepper to taste, then mix the ingredients together.
Step 5
Stir in 2 beaten eggs to bind all the cheese and flavors together.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
If using frozen spinach instead of fresh, make sure to thaw it and squeeze out all excess moisture thoroughly to prevent the pastry from getting soggy.
The combination of feta and cottage cheese creates a perfect balance of sharp flavor and creamy moisture.
Phyllo dough dries out and tears easily; keep unused sheets covered with a slightly damp towel while working.
You can freeze unbaked spanakopita triangles or logs, and bake them directly from the freezer whenever you need them.
