Easy Spanakopita
Buttering every single layer of phyllo, not just the top and bottom, is what keeps this spinach and feta pie properly flaky rather than dense in the middle.
Ingredients
Instructions
Wilt the spinach in a pan, then drain very thoroughly, squeezing out excess liquid with your hands if needed, and mix with the crumbled feta.
Layer buttered phyllo sheets in a tray, brushing every single sheet with melted butter, not just the top and bottom.
Spread the spinach and feta filling over the phyllo base, then top with more buttered phyllo sheets.
Score the top layer into portions before baking, then bake at 180C for 35-40 minutes until deeply golden and crisp.
