I'm not a huge fan of spinach, but I really enjoyed these spanakopita pockets. The filo dough was crispy and the filling was flavorful. I would definitely make them again.

These spanakopita pockets were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more feta cheese and maybe some chopped onions next time.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The spanakopita pockets are crispy on the outside and soft and cheesy on the inside. I love that I can make them ahead of time and then just pop them in the oven when I'm ready to serve them.

This spanakopita pockets recipe is a great way to use up leftover spinach. I had a bunch of spinach that was starting to wilt, and I didn't want to waste it. I found this recipe online and decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I did! The spanakopita
