Savory Spanakopita

In celebration of the International Greek Festival, I felt inspired to post one of Greece’s iconic snacks.  Spanakopita or spinach and feta pie is a Greek savory pastry with spinach, feta cheese, onions, and eggs. The filling is wrapped or layered in phyllo, a thin and flaky dough often used in Greek and Middle Eastern cooking.  These delightful pastries are served in individual triangles or in large rectangles.  Although admittedly untraditional, I like to add golden raisins for a bit of sweetness.
