03 Step

Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean, flat work surface. Brush generously with melted butter. Keep the remaining phyllo dough covered with a damp towel to prevent it from drying out. (2 minutes)

Place a second sheet of phyllo on top of the first and brush with melted butter. Repeat with a third sheet. Cutting through all three layers, slice the buttered phyllo lengthwise into four even strips. (3 minutes)
05 Step

Place approximately 1 tablespoon of the spinach mixture at the bottom of each phyllo strip. Fold the bottom right corner of the dough over the filling to form a triangle. Continue folding the triangle along the strip, alternating corners, until you reach the end. (20 minutes)

Arrange the stuffed spanakopita triangles, seam-side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush the tops with melted butter. (5 minutes)
07 Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the spanakopita are golden brown and beautifully crisp. (20 minutes)
08 Step
Recipe View
Allow the spanakopita to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy the warm, savory goodness! (10 minutes)
Ensure the spinach is thoroughly drained to prevent soggy spanakopita.
For a richer flavor, consider using a blend of fresh herbs like dill or parsley in the filling.
Work quickly with the phyllo dough, as it dries out rapidly.
Store leftover spanakopita in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
