Make It Now Cooking Directions
Stove Cook
These directions are for cooking this recipe to serve immediately and NOT to freeze for later.
- Heat olive oil #1 in a large saute pan over medium heat.
- Add onions and spinach and saute until onions are tender and spinach is wilted and has released excess moisture.
- Stir in parsley, dill, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl combine feta, ricotta, and eggs.
- When spinach is cooled, combine with cheese mixture.
- Unroll phyllo and cut into rectangular strips about 4 inches wide.
- Lay out one sheet of phyllo and brush lightly with olive oil. Lay another sheet on top and brush lightly with olive oil again.
- Place 1/4 cup of spinach/cheese mixture at the end of the rectangle and fold over so it forms a triangle. Continue folding in a triangular fashion until the dough is all rolled up (similar to folding a paper football). You should end up with a triangular pocket filled with spinach/cheese mixture.
- Brush the spanakopita with olive oil on both sides and place on a cookie sheet.
- Repeat until you have used up all of the filling.
- Bake a full sheet of triangles at 350 for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
