Spanakopita is a delicious Greek appetizer that's easy to make at home. Here are the detailed steps you need to follow:
Ingredients:
* 1 package of frozen phyllo dough (12-14 sheets)
* 1 lb fresh spinach, washed and chopped
* 4 cloves garlic, minced
* 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
* 1/2 cup chopped dill
* 1/4 cup olive oil
* Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2: In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 3: Add the chopped spinach to the pan and cook until wilted, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 4: In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, chopped dill, and cooked spinach mixture. Mix well.
Step 5: Lay out the phyllo sheets on a clean surface. Brush each sheet with water to moisten it.
Step 6: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the spinach and feta cheese filling onto the center of each phyllo sheet.
Step 7: Fold the sides of the phyllo sheet over the filling, then fold the bottom up and roll the top towards you to form a triangle. Press down lightly on the edges to seal the package.
Step 8: Place the spanakopita triangles seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush each package with water to moisten it.
Step 9: Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 10: Serve warm with a side of tzatziki sauce or lemon wedges. Enjoy your delicious homemade spanakopita appetizers!
