I usually make spanakopita with phyllo dough, but I had some puff pastry to use up. This recipe was definitely super tasty, and it was a lot easier using this method. This recipe also makes a decent number of appetizers, which is perfect because I love hosting appy nights over the holidays. I think this recipe just made my prep a lot easier!

OMG...so good!!! I have always loved spanakopita, but working with phyllo dough intimidated me! Puff pastry is so much easier. I made these for a get together recently, and everyone loved them. Will be making them for all of my holiday get together this year!!!
