Spanakopeta(Spinach Squares) - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
2 bunches green onion, finely chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
1/4 lb. butter
2 pkg. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1/2 lb. pkg. cream cheese, softened
1/2 lb. Feta cheese, crumbled
8 eggs
1 tsp. salt
pepper to taste
1 lb. phyllo pastry sheets
melted butter or margarine
Preparation
-
Saut onions in butter until soft.
Add spinach and saut a few minutes longer; cool.
Add cream cheese, Feta, eggs, salt and pepper; mix well.
Place 10 layers of phyllo pastry sheets in a 12 x 16 x 2-inch pan, brushing each sheet well with melted butter. Add spinach mixture, then place another 10 layers of phyllo, buttering each sheet.
Bake at 350\u00b0 for 30 minutes.
Cut into squares before serving.
You can brush the spanakopeta with a slightly beaten egg before baking for a nice luster.
I use margarine as all butter is very rich.
