Spanakopita Recipe

	Jdedrick / All my dishes 2 years, 1 month ago Spanakopita is a cheese and spinach pie wrapped in phyllo. I think it's a great first course or side dish. Serve it as a meatless entree with a green salad. Prep:20m Cook:35m Servings:6	Jdedrick

Add scallions, garlic and saute until scallions are soft. Add the spinach, feta, cottage cheese, dill, pepper and salt. Stir to combine and remove from the heat.

Place 1 phyllo sheet on a buttered sheet pan. (Cover remaining dough to keep from drying out). Coat 3 more phyllo sheets, one at a time with melted butter and stack one on top of the other.

Spoon spinach mixture on top of phyllo sheets and spread evenly.

Brush remaining phyllo dough with butter and place on top of spinach mixture, making sure to press phyllo down firmly. Score the phyllo dough into a triangle and butter the top of the phyllo.
