I made this pie a night before the solstice, on the night of the lunar eclipse I have long awaited. I picked the recipe from my cookbook and made a few changes to best fit my taste buds. A massive version of a Spanakopita... and great for a crowd (and solstice celebration).
Shopping List:
- 3 10 oz. packages of frozen chopped spinach defrosted
- 2 onions chopped
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
- 1/2 cup of feta
- 3 tablespoons of breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons of salt
- cracked pepper
- 6 sheets of phyllo dough
- melted butter
Putting it Together:
- Squeeze all the water out of the spinach
- Chop the onions and saute until translucent- NOT BROWN- and let cool
- Mix all the ingredients through the cracked pepper and stir together gently to keep the integrity of the ingredients.
- Grease a 10 inch pan with butter, lay phyllo dough and butter each layer, as you go spreading it out so it will cover the pie.
- Put the spinach mixture in the pan and fold over the edges of the phyllo dough
- Bake for about an hour checking at 40 minutes for a golden top
- Let cool and serve at a room temperature, or refrigerate and reheat.
- I'd like to play with the number of phyllo dough sheets and maybe add a bit of garlic...
