The filo pastry pie with spinach and feta cheese, known worldwide as spanakopita, is one of the most beloved dishes of Greek cuisine. This version, designed for beginners, shows you how easy it is to work with filo pastry to achieve a crispy and golden exterior, with a creamy and flavorful filling inside.
It's ideal as an appetizer, snack, or even a light main course. The combination of fresh spinach, salty feta cheese, pine nuts, and raisins creates a perfect balance of textures and flavors. Moreover, when baked, the filo pastry becomes incredibly flaky, offering that appreciated contrast with the juicy filling.
This recipe is perfect for those looking for a vegetarian option full of flavor, and also to surprise guests with a traditional Greek dish without complications.

Beat the eggs, add salt, ground pepper and nutmeg. Mix the spinach mixture when it is warm, with the eggs and add the feta cheese. Brush the phyllo dough sheets with olive oil. And we are placing them in the mold.
Put the 4 sheets around the mold, put the filling and cover by placing a folded sheet in the center, and close with the sheets, paint with oil and put some sesame seeds on it.
With the oven already heated to 180° heat up and down, we put the cake for 25/30 minutes, we keep an eye on it and when it is golden we remove it from the oven. And now we can enjoy a very delicious savory cake 😋😋 I hope you like it.
