Ingredients Needed

• Pastry
  • 1 package phyllo pastry
• Veggies
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Step-by-Step Instructions 5 (always use H2 and H3)

1. Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Sauté aromatics

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until softened.

3. Cook the spinach

Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted.

4. Combine filling

Remove the skillet from heat and mix in the crumbled feta cheese. Season with salt and pepper.

5. Prepare the phyllo

Lay out a sheet of phyllo pastry and brush with olive oil. Place another sheet on top and brush again.

6. Fill, fold, and bake

Cut the layered pastry into strips. Place a spoonful of the spinach mixture at one end and fold into a triangle shape, continuing to fold to the end. Arrange the triangles on a lined baking sheet and brush with the beaten egg. Bake for about 20–25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, then enjoy warm!

Serving Suggestions Spinach Pie

• Serve with a simple lemony yogurt dip or tzatziki for brightness.
• Pair with a crisp green salad and a light vinaigrette for a full meal.
• Add a side of roasted cherry tomatoes or grilled vegetables.
• Offer alongside crusty bread and a light soup for a cozy lunch.
• For a brunch board, serve with sliced fruit and smooth ricotta.

Here’s an easy pairing idea: include slices of an easy frittata with potatoes, red peppers, and spinach to create a hearty brunch spread.

Tips for Success Spinach Pie

• Work quickly with phyllo and keep unused sheets covered with a damp towel to prevent drying.
• Squeeze excess moisture from cooked spinach to avoid soggy pastry.
• Brush phyllo lightly with oil for maximum flakiness; too much oil makes it heavy.
• Bake until deep golden brown for the best crisp texture.
• Make ahead: assemble triangles, freeze on a sheet, then bake directly from frozen for convenience.

Here are a few easy ways to change it up:

• Add cooked crumbled sausage or diced cooked chicken for extra protein.
• Mix in chopped artichoke hearts or sun-dried tomatoes for more flavor.
• Make it dairy-free by swapping feta for a seasoned tofu crumble and a touch of nutritional yeast.
• Turn it spicy with a pinch of red pepper flakes mixed into the filling.
