Greek spinach pie (Spanakopita)

This particular version is a bit different than from its original recipe. I found that this one has a nicer table presentation. Instead of having the spinach inside the phyllo dough, it has phyllo dough ribbons on top of the spinach. 

Ingredients:

  • 2 onions chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed and chopped
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp dried dill
  • 2 PK frozen spinach, thawed and drained
  • ¼ cup vegan feta cheese
  • ¼ cup vegan Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ breadcrumbs (I used pulverized oats)
  • 8 sheets phyllo dough
  • Additional olive oil
Directions:

Heat the oven at 375°F. In a medium saucepan, heat oil and cook onions until transparent. Add chopped garlic, cooking a bit more. Season with pepper and dill.

In a medium bowl, add spinach, feta, and Parmesan cheeses. Blend breadcrumbs or oats folding the mix very gently. 

Pour mix in a 9” spring form or deep-dish pan. Cut phyllo sheets about ½” wide and moist them with olive oil to keep the phyllo without breaking. Place phyllo sheets on top of the spinach mixture.

Bake it for around 40-45 minutes, depending on your oven, or until the phyllo looks golden.
