Spanakopita

For whatever reason, phyllo dough really intimidated me but I decided to (finally) take a risk and try to prepare spanakopita on my own. I did some searching online for cook times, similar ingredients etc., and then put my recipe together. I gotta tell you guys; phyllo is actually super easy to work with and if I can do it, you guys can surely do it as well.

The filling is loaded with spinach, ricotta, feta cheese, and fresh dill / parsley. It's super delicious. The phyllo is delicate but surprisingly easy to work with and each layer is slathered in melted butter to keep the layers separate and the top nice and gloriously crispy. Trust me, you want this recipe.

Here's the two websites I used for information on how to put this together.

--- I plucked a few ideas from this one but didn't use their crimping method. I preferred the more traditional look for my first go.

--- I used the preparation from this recipe but the cook time was significantly off. I had to cook it for another 25 minutes on top of what this recipe suggested.
