How To make Spinach Cheese Casserole In Puff Pastry
10 oz Spinach, chopped
-(fresh or frozen) 1 c Cottage OR
-ricotta cheese 1 c Feta cheese
-(crumbled and drained -of any brine) 1/4 c Parmesan or romano
-cheese, grated 1/4 c Scallions, chopped
4 lg Eggs
2 T Butter
1 pn Salt
1 pn Pepper
12 oz Puff pastry
-(frozen pastry thawed -to room temperature, -or homemade) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cook the spinach in boiling water. Drain, rinse with cool water, and squeeze out as much moisture as you can. Melt the butter in a small skillet. Cook the scallions until slightly soft. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cheeses and the eggs. Mix well. Add the spinach, the butter and scallions, the salt and pepper and mix again. Lightly butter the bottom and sides of an 8-inch square baking dish. Roll out a sheet of puff pastry on a floured surface to make a 14-inch square. Roll out a second sheet to make a 9-inch square. Lay the bigger pastry sheet in the buttered dish, draping the extra pastry over the edges. Spread the spinach and cheese mixture evenly in the dish. Put the remaining pastry sheet on top. Trim excess pastry if necessary and seal the edges closed. Use scraps of pastry dough to decorate the top of the pie. Brush top with additional melted butter if desired. Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees F. or until pastry is golden brown. Let rest for 10 minutes
before serving. NOTES: * Spinach and cheeses in a puff pastry crust -- A recipe of this type appeared in _Cuisine Magazine_. The dish is hearty enough to be a main course, but can also be a side dish to a meat entree. Yield: Serves 4 to 6.
* The casserole may be prepared, covered and refrigerated for up to 8 hours. * As an alternative to puff pastry, you might try using sheets of filo dough, overlapped to make the bottom and top crusts. I have also baked this dish in a pie pan using filo dough. One way to cut down on the calories in this dish is to omit the bottom crust entirely. This is a very flexible recipe. Other vegetables can be substituted for the spinach, and other ingredients like sauteed garlic and mushrooms can be added. : Difficulty: moderate. : Time: 30 minutes preparation, 1 hour baking and cooling. : Precision: approximate measurement OK. : Robin Harris Foster : AT&T Information Systems, Lincroft New Jersey, USA : ihnp4!mtuxo!rfoster : The apple never falls far from the tree : Copyright (C) 1986 USENET Community Trust

Spanakopitakia: Greek Spinach Pie Triangles The best appetizer!!
Print this recipe here:
Ingredients
2 pounds #4 phyllo pastry, at room temperature
1 pound or 3 bunches baby spinach, chopped
2 bunches of fresh dill, finely chopped, or 2 teaspoons dried dill
6 scallions, thinly sliced
15 ounces ricotta cheese, full fat, and at room temperature
1 pound feta cheese, crumbled
4 eggs, beaten and at room temperature
1 pound butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 °F, 190 °C.
Line 2 half-sheet baking pans with parchment paper.
Make the filling:
Combine the feta cheese, ricotta, eggs, oil, salt, pepper, and dill in a tabletop mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat until combined.
Add the scallions and beat until combined.
While the mixer is running on low add a handful of chopped spinach at a time until all of the spinach is incorporated.
Mix everything together with a spatula and set it aside
Assemble the triangles:
While the phyllo is still rolled in its packaging, cut it into three equal portions. Unwrap one portion and leave the rest in their packaging so that they do not dry out.
Work with two layers of phyllo at a time and drizzle some melted butter between the two layers and on top.
Place a tablespoon of spanakopita filling at the bottom of the strip and roll it up, flag style. See video.
Place the triangles on the baking trays and continue assembling them until the filling and/or phyllo runs out.
Brush the tops of the triangles that you will be baking with melted butter and sprinkle with some salt.
Bake them for about 40 minutes or until nice and golden. Serve with tzatziki or as is.
Notes
Sometimes the phyllo sticks together. You don't have to be precise and fight with it to stick to the 2 layers of phyllo rule. I promise, if you roll it up with 3 layers or even 4, it will taste just as good or maybe better.
Freezer Instructions: Remove the plastic wrap and brush the pies with melted butter or oil and then sprinkle the tops with salt. Cover loosely with foil and bake at 375 °F for 40 minutes. Remove foil and bake uncovered until golden and crisp. About 15 minutes.

Puff Pastry Spinach and Cheese Pie (Spanakopita) (Lahanopita)
Spanakopita makes a wonderful side dish at a family meal and it also makes a perfect appetizer for parties. In this video, Eva shows us her take on the traditional Greek dish. Instead of using phyllo, Eva uses puff pastry, which you can find in the frozen section of your local grocery store. It is a lot easier to use and makes a delicious spanakopita.
