Brunch Spanikopita!


Here's a simple way to impress a crowd. They will think you slaved all day long!



You'll need:
Roughly 20 phyllo pastry sheets
Melted butter
1 cup crumbled Feta
1 tbsp fresh dill
2 scallions, chopped
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1 tbsp oregano
2 cloves garlic, minced
4-5 bunches fresh spinach (about 2 cups, cooked) and drained and chopped.
salt and pepper


1. Prep all of your materials first- this makes assembling so much easier.
2. Pour yourself a glass of good wine- it's Friday!
3. In a bowl: blend feta, ricotta, scallions, oregano, dill, garlic, salt and pepper.
4. Preheat oven to 400
5. Prep your lasagna dish: Brush butter all over and place about 8 phyllo sheets in the dish; buttering each one every time. The sheets will overhang the dish, that's ok, because you will be folding all the sides in.
6. Add half of the cooked spinach and then half of the cheese mix over the top - spread.
7. Now, fold in the overhanging sides.
8. Now, fold 6 more sheets in half, brush with butter and put over the mixture.
9. Add the remaining spinach and feta.
10. Finally, fold the rest of your sheets in half, brush with butter and place on top- try tucking in the edges.
11. Bake for 45 minutes.
12. Allow to cool abit, drink more wine and yum.






Moolicious!!!!
