Preparation Steps
- In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and green onion, sautéing until they become translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Incorporate the fresh spinach into the skillet, stirring until it wilts down significantly, about 3-5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a bowl to cool completely.
- Once cooled, mix in the fresh parsley, dill, mint, feta cheese, and beaten eggs. Season the filling with salt and pepper to enhance flavors.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare your phyllo dough by laying it out on a clean surface. Layer a few sheets on top of each other and keep the remaining sheets covered with a damp towel.
- For the casserole style, brush the bottom of a baking dish with melted butter. Lay down 8-10 phyllo sheets, brushing each with butter. Spread an even layer of the spinach and feta filling. Add another 8-10 layers of phyllo, buttering each sheet before tucking the edges in, scoring the top and baking for 40-50 minutes.
- For rolls, brush one phyllo sheet with butter, add filling along one edge, roll into a log, and brush the outside with butter. Repeat until all the filling is used, then bake for 20-25 minutes.
- For bites, cut phyllo into strips, place filling at one end of each strip, fold into triangles, brushing with butter as you go. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes.
- Once out of the oven, let your spanakopita cool for a few minutes before serving.
