Today’s cheesy recipe is for Greek Spinach and Feta Pie - Spanakopita.
Wash spinach and discard stems, then salt and wash again. Dry thoroughly on absorbent paper and cut into pieces.
Sauté onion in butter until soft. Add spinach and sauté a few minutes longer.
Cool.
Transfer to a large dish and add eggs, feta and seasonings. Mix well.
Place 8-10 layers of filo pastry sheets in
a wide pan (say, 10” x 15”), brushing each sheet well with melted butter. Add half of spinach mixture, then place 8-10 on filling, again buttering each sheet. Add remainder of mix, and finally cover with remaining filo sheets.
Bake at 350 degrees F for about 25
minutes, or until crust is golden brown.
Cut into squares before serving. Spanakopita tastes particularly good when cooled and reheated, even days later.
