Spinach Spanakopita

This spanakopita is a tasty celebration of seasonal greens and Mediterranean tradition. Originating in Greece, spanakopita is a classic savory pie made to showcase tender leafy vegetables, fresh herbs, and a variety of cheeses layered with phyllo. Historically, spanakopita was a delicious way to use abundant greens, garden herbs, and preserved cheeses, all baked into a dish that could feed many! This dish, built around fresh market veggies, is perfect as an appetizer or serving as a centerpiece for a meal!
