🥧 Introduction
Spanakopita is one of the most beloved traditional Greek dishes — a savory pie filled with fresh spinach, herbs, and creamy feta cheese, all layered between crisp, golden sheets of phyllo pastry. Perfect as a main dish, appetizer, or party snack, Spanakopita brings the authentic flavors of Greece straight to your table.
Using Roussas PDO Feta Cheese and Sparta Gourmet EVOO from Alpha Omega Imports, you can recreate this dish just like it’s made in Greek homes and tavernas.
