Cheesy Spanakopita Bites

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

I found out that our next Gourmet Dinner Club was going to be Greek themed and two things popped into my head: feta cheese and filo dough. I knew I wanted to incorporate both into my appetizer, which screamed spanakopita, but filo dough is an awful lot of work. Then steps in these beautiful filo shells. The perfect bite-sized snack, ready to go from the freezer into the oven with absolutely no effort.

I wanted these bites to include a serious punch of flavor while still being rich and creamy. I’ve had spanakopita before made just with spinach, and I knew I wanted to pull in Mediterranean herbs as well. An entire bunch of parsley and dill add that power without being too strong (even for those who don’t usually like dill). They were the perfect paid for our Greek antipasto platter, and I am certain I’ll be making them again before too long, because they’re just so darn easy.Greek spanakopita bites

Also, I just recently learned how to pronounce spanakopita correctly.
