Spanakopita Sandwich
- 16 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 12 cup onion, diced
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, minced
- 18 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 12 cup feta, crumbled
- 14 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 dash cayenne pepper
- 5 ciabatta buns, focaccia sliced
- 2 large tomatoes
- spinach leaves
- 3 tablespoons feta, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 14 teaspoon italian seasoning
- 1 dash black pepper
- 34 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cucumber, thinly cut
- Heat oil in large pan, saute onions ( a combination of red, green, and yellow is nice) until translucent, about 3 minutes depending upon burner heat.
- Remove from heat and let cool about 5 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350, line cookie sheet with parchment, spray.
- Mix onion with ingredients through cayenne pepper, spread onto parchment (I like it to be about 1/2 inch depth) and bake for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile make feta spread, mash feta with fork, mix in rest, refrigerate until using within 24 hours.
- Cool spanakopita filling and chill, tastes best chilled.
- Slice buns and tomatoes, divide filling equally between bun bottoms, and top with tomatoe slices, spinach leaves, feta spread, and bun tops.
- Whatever filling I do not use I freeze.
- To freeze just the filling, I portion it out onto separate pieces of waxed paper and then put in freezer container.
- Defrost in fridge overnight, set on counter about 30 minutes before eating.
