HOW DO YOU MAKE GREEK SPINACH PIE?
My Greek Spinach Pie is made layered with phyllo, melted butter and the spinach- cheese filling.  Before I bake it, I rating the pastry with a knife so the baked squares can also be simple to chop out of the pan for serving.

It bakes up so perfectly, and the scored sq. servings naturally type of pull aside because it bakes.

The baked pie items are delicious!  The filling is smooth and tacky and wonderful, and it’s layered with crispy, golden phyllo.  It’s a neat twist at the vintage Greek spinach pie (or spanakopita).  I desire you find it irresistible as a lot as we do!
