Spanakopita Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 125 ml (½ cup) milk
- 125 ml (½ cup) vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Cooked spinach, drained
- Feta cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 sheets of filo dough
- Poppy seeds
- 1 egg yolk
Instructions:
- Prepare the mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the egg, milk, vegetable oil, water, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
- Assemble the filo layers: Lay out one sheet of filo dough on a flat surface. Lightly brush with the prepared mixture, ensuring it covers the entire sheet. Repeat the process with the remaining two sheets, layering them on top of each other.
- Add the filling: In a separate bowl, mix the cooked spinach and crumbled feta cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Spread this mixture evenly over the layered filo dough.
- Roll and cut: Carefully roll the filo dough from one end to the other, forming a long strip. Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into triangular pieces.
- Prepare for baking: Place the triangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush each triangle with the egg yolk and sprinkle with poppy seeds.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F) and bake for 15 minutes, or until the triangles are golden brown and crispy.
