“Spanakopita” is the Greek name for this traditional dish featuring spinach and feta cheese. You can serve it as a side dish or meatless main dish. My dad and I used to fight over the last piece!

The History of Feta

FETA is a white, salty, semi-firm cheese. Traditionally it was made from sheep or goat's milk but is now also made with cow's milk. After feta is formed in a special mold, it's sliced into large pieces, salted and soaked in brine. Although feta cheese is mostly associated with Greek cooking, "feta" comes from the Italian word "fette", meaning slice of food.

I've made this several times and recently have substituted Greek seasoning blend for the salt and pepper. It really is good.

This casserole is a great meatless option for dinner. I have made it a couple times and have added a bit of dill to make it more like traditional spanakopita.

For those of you who thought this needed something, try using a flavored feta like garlic/herb or sun-dried tomato.

This recipe had a nice flavor, but it needed something. I added hot sauce.

For a food that is so low on calories, this is really filling and also quite tasty. Will be making again.

I subbed ricotta for cottage and used fresh, not frozen, spinach. Delicious!

Nutmeg is a nice addition to spice it up a bit.

i found this recipe to be bland- I liked the texture and base flavor..I'll make it again but with some tweaking-maybe double the feta, reduce the cottage..needs spicing.

This is a great side dish. The nutrition value is pretty good, and it came out to about 250 calories per serving.
