Upgrade your spanakopita with fresh spinach in our authentic Greek recipe.
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the spinach until just heated through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Cook the onions until soft, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low, then add the spinach, parsley, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 2 more minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool slightly before stirring in the cheese and egg.
Prepare the baking dish by generously brushing it with melted butter. Start layering the dish with 1 phyllo sheet, brushing it with butter. Continue layering with 7 more sheets, brushing each one with butter before adding the next. Spoon the spinach mixture over the top sheet. Layer the remaining 8 phyllo sheets on top, brushing each with the remaining butter. Finish by cutting several slits in the top layer.
Bake until golden brown, about 40-50 minutes. Allow to rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
