Reviews
Almost as good as a Rusty Venture
Yummy and really easy! Loved this!
This spanikopita is fabulous and well worth fiddling with the delicate phyllo dough. My husband confessed to me that he was always lukewarm about ordering it in restaurants, but that he would eat these every time. I substituted feta for the goat cheese, and I made the filling the day before and refrigerated it so that I would have less work at dinnertime, and it still baked beautifully. I loved the texture that the mushrooms added. I would recommend greasing the baking sheet, because a bit of our filling oozed out and got stuck to the pan. We had them for dinner with homemade hummus and pita chips, grilled zucchini, and a green salad with tomatoes, feta, and sprouts.
This was a very simple recipe to make. You will already have all the ingredients if you cook all the time. If you don’t cook all the time you will have no problem locating the ingredients at your grocery store. Everybody loves it! It’s perfect for unexpected guests because it’s very quick to make and it isn’t the same old same old they get at other people’s houses. It’s absolutely wonderful. I totally recommend this recipe. Try it! You’ll see.
