Shortcut Spanakopita image

I love this quick version of spanakopita.It is made into rolls for easy preparation. They are larger than the traditional triangles, so you probably only need 1 per person for an appetizer or 2 per person if you are serving it as a main course. Recipe by Rachael Ray, slightly adapted.

Categories     Spinach

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, defrosted and squeezed dry
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (ground or freshly grated)
4 -6 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
1 egg, beaten
3 tablespoons sour cream
4 sheets phyllo dough (13 x 17 inches each)
3 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Make sure you rack is in the center position.
  • Preheat a small pan to med-high heat and then add you oil and onion - saute for about 5 minutes. Transfer the onion to a bowl. Add spinach to the onion and season it with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Add the feta and combine it well with the spinach mixture. Next add the beaten egg and sour cream and combine it well with the cheese, spinach and onion mixture.
  • Lay out one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and paint half of it with some of the melted butter. Fold the sheet in half to make almost a square. Put up to 1/4 of the spinach mixture onto the phyllo into a log shape, working 2 inches from the bottom and each side of the pastry. Tuck the bottom edge up and fold both sides in, then roll and wrap upwards until you reach the edge of the dough sheet. Each filled pastry will look a bit like an egg roll. Paint the seam and the ends of the roll with butter and set it seam side down on a cookie sheet. Repeat these steps to make 4 rolls.
  • Bake for about 15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Serve and enjoy!

5 stars! This shortcut spanakopita recipe is a game-changer. It's so easy to make and it tastes just as good as traditional spanakopita.

Not a fan of this recipe. The spanakopita was too oily and the phyllo dough was soggy. I think I'll stick to my traditional spanakopita recipe.

Just made this for dinner and it was a huge hit with my family! The phyllo dough was crispy and flaky, and the spinach and feta filling was cheesy and flavorful. Will definitely be making this again.

Love this recipe! It's so easy to make and it always turns out perfect. I like to add a little bit of garlic and onion to the spinach filling for extra flavor.

This recipe was a disappointment. The spanakopita was dry and crumbly. I think I overcooked it.

Not bad for a quick and easy recipe. The spanakopita was a bit bland for my taste, but I think that's because I didn't use enough feta cheese. Next time I'll add more cheese and some chopped fresh herbs.

This recipe is a keeper! The spanakopita was so easy to make and it tasted delicious. I used frozen spinach and it worked out great. Will be making this again and again.

Followed the recipe to the T, but my spanakopita turned out soggy. Not sure what went wrong. Maybe I didn't drain the spinach well enough.

Tried this recipe last night and it was a hit! The phyllo dough was a bit tricky to work with, but the end result was worth it. The spanakopita was crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. Will definitely be making this again.

This shortcut spanakopita recipe was a lifesaver! I had limited time to prepare dinner, and this dish came together in a jiffy. The phyllo dough was crispy and flaky, and the spinach and feta filling was flavorful and cheesy. My family loved it!
