CLASSIC SPANAKOPITA FILLING IS SIMPLE
The key filling ingredients in a spanakopita recipe are spinach and feta, but equally important is adding plenty of fresh herbs! I used two whole bunches of parsley, and I kept some of the stems to chop along with the leaves (parsley stems pack a ton of flavor!) More flavor is added from the onions, garlic and a little dill weed. You can certainly use dried oregano or thyme, if you like. To bind everything together, I used four large eggs. Note: not every cheese works in spanakopita, it’s best to stick to quality feta cheese. I make my own filo dough from scratch.
