Nearly Nana's Spinach & Feta Pie image

My Nana makes great a Spanakopita, but refuses to show me how to make it because I don't visit enough. It has taken me years of practice but now my father thinks mine is better than his mother's--don't tell Nana.

Categories     Spinach

Time 50m

Yield 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 bunch parsley, roughly chopped
1 bunch mint, roughly chopped
1 bunch dill, roughly chopped
500 g frozen baby spinach leaves
200 g feta, crumbled into big pieces
200 g parmesan cheese, coarsely grated
200 g tasty cheese, grated
3 eggs (lightly beaten)
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 sheets frozen puff pastry, defrosted
1 egg (lightly beaten to glaze)

Steps:

  • Cook frozen spinach in microwave on HIGH for 7 minutes. Allow to cool slightly and squeeze out excess liquid from spinach and use a fork to loosen leaves apart into a large mixing bowl.
  • Add remaining filling ingredients, mix with fork. (Don't over mix, only until just combined and this will make it light and fluffy). Moisten edges of pastry with some of the beaten egg.
  • Divide filling evenly in the centre of the 3 pieces of puff pastry, leaving enough room on the pastry to roll and seal pastry into a log.
  • Seal all edges and brush top of pastry with the remaining beaten egg.
  • Space all 3 logs on top a lined baking tray and bake in a moderate oven until pastry is golden.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover spinach. It's also a good option for a vegetarian meal.

I'm not a big fan of spinach, but I actually enjoyed this pie. The feta cheese and eggs helped to balance out the flavor of the spinach.

This pie was a bit too rich for my taste. The feta cheese was overpowering and the crust was too heavy.

I thought this recipe was just average. The flavors were okay, but the texture was a bit dry. I might try it again with some modifications.

This pie was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't make it again.

I found this recipe to be too complicated. There are too many ingredients and the instructions are not clear.

This recipe was a disappointment. The crust was too dry and the filling was bland. I won't be making it again.

This pie was delicious! The spinach, feta, and eggs were perfectly combined. I served it with a side salad and it was a complete meal.

This recipe was easy to follow and the pie turned out great! I used fresh spinach from my garden and it was so flavorful. The feta cheese added a nice tanginess.

This spinach feta pie was a hit at my dinner party! The flavors were perfectly balanced and the crust was flaky and golden brown. I'll definitely be making this again.
