Simple Spanakopita
- 1 pound Phyllo Dough, Thawed In The Fridge Overnight
- 2 pounds Frozen Spinach, Thawed
- 1 bunch Scallions, Chopped
- 1/2 cups Fresh, Flat-leaf Parsley, Chopped
- 1/2 cups Fresh Dill, Chopped
- 5 Eggs
- 1 pound Feta Cheese, Crumbled
- Black Pepper To Taste
- 1/4 cups Olive Oil
- About an hour before youre ready to work, take the phyllo out of the fridge and allow it to come up to room temperature.
- Squeeze all the excess liquid out of your spinach by wrapping it in a dish towel or a couple layers of paper towels.
- It may be easiest to do this one pound at a time.
- There will be a lot of liquid, so when you think youre done squeezing, squeeze some more!
- In a large bowl, mix the spinach with the scallions, parsley, dill, eggs, feta, black pepper and olive oil until everything is combined.
- Lay a sheet of phyllo dough down in a 9x13-inch pan and spray well with olive oil.
- Repeat layering and spraying until you have 8 sheets of phyllo.
- Spread 1/2 of your spinach mixture evenly across your phyllo.
- Lay down 4 more oiled sheets of phyllo on top and then spread the remaining spinach mixture on top.
- Finish with the rest of your phyllo dough, always spraying with olive oil in between.
- Score the spanakopita by cutting criss-cross diagonal lines from one side of your pan to the other.
- Sprinkle with a little water and bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees F for 60 minutes or until the top is a lovely golden brown.
