1Squeeze the wilted spinach bone-dry — water is the enemy of crisp phyllo. Mix with feta, onions, herbs and eggs.
2Cut each phyllo sheet lengthwise. Spoon filling at the wide end, fold sides in and roll into a cigar. Butter each roll, sprinkle sesame.
3Bake at 180°C for 25-30 minutes until deep golden. Serve warm — never hot, the feta needs a minute to settle.
Chef's Tip
- The single most common spanakopita failure is wet spinach: it steams the phyllo from inside and the crunch dies.
More tips ↓Show less ↑
- Rolling phyllo into cigars multiplies layers — more surface, more crunch per bite than the classic pie.
- Sesame on the buttered surface toasts as it bakes, adding nuttiness without changing the filling.
