Spanakopita: Spinach & Feta Phyllo Dough Wraps #Foodie Friday

On Father's Day after my 11 year old daughter made this amazing cake.

I saw her fooling around with some phyllo dough. "What are you doing?" "Making an appetizer for our picnic." "Are you using a recipe?" "No." "If it comes out good I'll put it on the blog." "Cool." Of course, it came out fantastic. So here is my daughter's recipe. I always knew she was the better baker, but now I think I have some kitchen competition. 

Spanakopita: Spinach & Feta Phyllo Dough Wraps

by J Balch

preparation: 30 minutes                               serves: 8 - 10

Ingredients:

5 ounces cooked baby spinach

2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil

3 ounces of feta cheese crumbled

1 package of phyllo dough

butter for brushing approximately 1/4 cup melted

dash of nutmeg

ground pepper (do not add salt)

Directions:

1) Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2) In a large skillet cook spinach in olive oil until it wilts.

3) Remove spinach from heat and in a large bowl mix it with feta, nutmeg, and pepper.

4) Melt the butter and brush 7 sheets of phyllo dough with the butter. Layer the sheets on top of each other.

5) With a pizza cutter divide the stack of phyllo dough into 6 even pieces.

6) Place a heaping teaspoon of the spinach mixture into the middle of each piece of phyllo dough.

7) Twist up the sides of the phyllo dough; sealing the spinach in a wrapped top poach. 

8) Brush the finished wraps with butter and bake for approximately 10 minutes or until the dough becomes golden brown.

Olive Cake with Cherry Topping

I have been doing some experimenting with olive oil cake and I can assure you the results are wonderful. It has to be better than tons of butter?
