Spanakopita

Spanakopita is a traditional Greek savory pastry. It is made with filo dough and cut in triangles, or squares and the interior may be filled with cooked spinach and onions.

While different pies have been served in Greece since ancient times, spanakopita is believed to be a more recent invention. It’s estimated that the dish originated about 400 years ago in the Epirus area of Northern Greece. It may have been influenced by a Turkish dish known as ispanakli börek.
