Delicious Spinach And Feta Pie

Delicious Spinach And Feta Pie

I love this spinach and feta pie. I have prepared it many times and I never get tired of it. It is good as soon as it’s done, it’s good at room temperature, it’s good cold from the fridge after a day or two…

I know it as a Jamie Oliver recipe, and I changed only little things. I prefer to use extra virgin olive oil instead of butter, when possible. As feta is pretty tasty, I used less than him.

It is pretty simple to prepare and requires no expertise in cooking. This spinach and feta pie is also beautiful to serve at the table, as the thin crisps of the philo pastry are wonderful to see and inviting to eat.

I like feta cheese very much. I use it in many “dear” recipes and lately I try to have it always in my fridge (as we often do with sugar, flour and milk at home). Just to name some, with feta you can prepare the spinach cake, the cheese focaccia, the savory snacks, the spanakopitas

And I use spinach also very often, as to prepare the sunny spinach pie and some of the above recipes. Spinach and feta match so well together.

Well, today is Monday and I felt like posting a comforting recipe as this one for you, to begin well a new week ;-).
