I can't believe I haven't posted about this yet. You must make spanakopita. They are delicious! It takes only a few simple ingredients, about 20 minutes to assemble, and 25 minutes to bake.
Here's how it's done: Pre-heat oven to 375.
You will need: a box of phyllo dough, a bag of frozen spinach thawed (or about 8-10 oz fresh, cooked), 8 oz. feta, a stick of butter, S&P, EVOO
I recently learned that some of the feta sold in the US is made from cow's milk, not goat, as it should be. Goat's milk and cheese are easier for most humans to digest and taste much better imho. So, get some good goat feta and some whole wheat phyllo if you can find it.
Melt the butter. Cut the phyllo into strips 2.5 or 3 inches wide. Mix spinach, feta, S&P, and just a bit of EVOO in a bowl. For each triangle, stack about 4-5 strips of phyllo, brush with butter, spoon some spinach feta mixture on one end, and roll like a paper football. Brush the entire triangle with butter and lay on a cookie sheet. The phyllo directions say to butter each sheet, but I think it tastes just as good if you spare yourself the heart attack for now and only brush one sheet before rolling. Bake for about 25 minutes or until tops are golden. Enjoy!
One batch makes about 18 and they will disappear pretty quickly. They can be rolled up and frozen to be cooked later. This is one of my favorite pot luck dishes.
