Dinner Spanakopitas
RECIPE COURTESY OF INA GARTEN
Level: Intermediate
Total: 1 hr 20 min
Prep: 20 min
Cook: 1 hr
Yield: 12 strudels
Ingredients
1/4 cup good olive oil
1 cup chopped yellow onion
3 scallions, white and green parts, chopped
2 (10-ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, defrosted
4 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Plain dry bread crumbs
1 teaspoon grated nutmeg
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups small-diced feta cheese (12 ounces)
3 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
24 sheets frozen phyllo dough, defrosted
1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Flaked sea salt, such as Maldon, for sprinkling
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Heat the olive oil in a medium saute pan, add the onion, and cook for 5 minutes over medium-low heat. Add the scallions, and cook for another 2 minutes until the scallions are wilted but still green. Meanwhile, gently squeeze most of the water out of the spinach and place it in a large bowl.
When the onion and scallions are done, add them to the spinach. Mix in the eggs, Parmesan cheese, 3 tablespoons bread crumbs, the nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Gently fold in the feta and pine nuts.
Place 1 sheet of phyllo dough flat on a work surface with the long end in front of you. Brush the dough lightly with butter and sprinkle it with a teaspoon of bread crumbs. Working quickly, slide another sheet of phyllo dough on top of the first, brush it with butter, and sprinkle lightly with bread crumbs. (Use just enough bread crumbs so the layers of phyllo don’t stick together.) Pile 4 layers total on top of each other this way, brushing each with butter and sprinkling with bread crumbs. Cut the sheets of phyllo in half lengthwise. Place 1/3 cup spinach filling on the shorter end and roll the phyllo up diagonally as if folding a flag. Then fold the triangle of phyllo over straight and then diagonally again. Continue folding first diagonally and then straight until you reach the end of the sheet. The filling should be totally enclosed. Continue assembling phyllo layers and folding the filling until all of the filling is used. Place on a sheet pan, seam sides down. Brush with melted butter, sprinkle with flaked salt, and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the phyllo is browned and crisp. Serve hot.

Ina, you should consider hiring a Greek cook in your staff or at least pay for a Greek consultant. Anybody’s Yiayia will make a perfect greek food consultant.

Can you use puff pastry instead?

Spanakopita is not spanakopita without heaps of dill. Unfortunately this is a knock off of the real spinach pie. We never cook the ingredients and never add eggs. spanakopita without cheese is the fasting version which is normally eaten during periods of fasting i.e.before easter,Christmas and other religious days.

Putting bread crumbs into Spanakopita is a major error.

Surely there’s a Greek on her staff!

I'll be missing my Pappou's Spanakopita that he would make every year around the Holiday's. And now I will learn how to make the best he has made and to make him proud of me as I will make it with everything that I seen him do as I watched and help make it while I was growing up. My nickname would be Ashaleek as he would make it because he would add leeks to the spinach and feta cheese. I Miss and Loves You, Pappou Spiro. <3 <3

Let the woman cook. If she mispronunciation, add too expensive ingredients or anything you don’t agree with…. Just move on! It’s easy!

Frozen spinach, boxed bread crumbs, frozen phyllo? Ina I love you! It can be easy but still elegant and delicious!

I loooove Ina and 99% of her recipes, but as a first generation Greek ( immigrant off-the-boat parents) this is not an authentic recipe and I just can’t…..Sigh. No bread crumbs! Sigh…
Ps. It’s properly pronounced “ spa- na- koh-pee-ta” with the accent on the 3rd syllable. Literally translates as “spinach pie”.
Next!

Hi Ina, I was pleasantly surprised that no herbs like dill or oregano were added 👌

Ina… I love you and your recipes, but you seriously need to lose some weight. 😪
NOT fat shaming, but we want to see you for many decades to come.
Your Physician would agree with us.
You are clinically obese.
Have you ever researched what your weight should be or what your BMI is?
Love, from your eternal sister in Christ somewhere near Seattle and around the World.

She pronounced filo dough totally wrong. It's pronounced feelo not fiilo. No Greek I no put pine nuts in there spanakopita.
@cassystreet3082
January 9, 2024 at 3:31 pm
I'm Greek and this angered me. Don't make things you can't even pronounce. The dough is pronounced fee-lo not fye-lo. Also bread crumbs NEVER belong in spanokopita
@MaxRoc21

Greek food, absolutely the best in the world, italian competes but greek is unbelievable and quess what no raw meat dishes (instead of the crazy nutmeg!!! try the real deal, the Herbs like Marathos (Fennel), Myroni (Chervil), Kaukalithres (Tordylium apulum) and ofc Leek!!! and I am astonished Ina didnt add Leek because she knows it and loves it (adds sweetness to the pie)

nutmeg?? won't that make it taste like Thanksgiving?? 😆 seriously though.

My late mother,,-in-law made this but she left out the feta cheese I wouldn't eat it because I hated spinach but after o ginally

I have a Moosewood recipe I love but the first day it is often too moist. The breadcrumbs are a great tip! Although wonderful, it is a mess to serve. Individual triangles would be more upfront work, but easier at serving time.
@reglagirl5802

Leave out the breadcrumbs

She uses ingredients like she thinks everyone can afford them and find them. Alot of these cooking shows mostly get the food from place that the network pays for. The cooks always say ingredients are "relatively cheap to buy" well thats not true… for them most likely.
