Steps:

  • Place oven rack in center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
  • Preheat a small pan over medium to medium high heat. Add oil and onion and saute 5 minutes. Place onion in a bowl. Add chopped dry, defrosted spinach and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Add feta to the bowl and combine it with spinach. Add beaten egg and sour cream to the bowl and combine with cheese, spinach and onion.
  • On a large work surface, place 1 sheet of phyllo. Paint half of the sheet with a little melted butter, paying extra attention to your perimeter. Fold sheet in half. Pile 1/4 of your spinach mixture into a log shape working 2 inches from bottom and each side. Tuck bottom up and fold both sides in, then roll and wrap upwards until you reach the edge of the dough sheet. Each pastry will resemble an egg roll. Paint the seam and the ends of the roll with butter and set roll seam side down on a cookie sheet. Repeat and make 4 rolls. Bake 15 minutes or until lightly golden all over and serve.

1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, half a turn of the pan
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, defrosted and squeezed dry
Salt and pepper
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, ground or freshly grated
4 ounces feta with black pepper or plain feta, crumbled into tiny bits
1 egg, beaten
3 tablespoons sour cream
4 (13 by 17-inch) sheets, defrosted phyllo pastry dough
3 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Rinse and drain spinach. Put the spinach in a large pot with no additional water (the water clinging to the leaves from rinsing will be enough), and cover and steam it over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Drain the spinach in a colander. While it's cooling, heat the olive oil in a skillet. Add the red and green onions and sauté until tender - about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Squeeze the excess water out of the spinach leaves, chop them coarsely (if you have kitchen shears, you can cut up the spinach right in the colander), and put the spinach in a mixing bowl. Add the onions, ricotta cheese, eggs, herbs and spices and stir well. Mix in the feta cheese last so it will stay fairly chunky.
  • Place in a greased 9x9 pan. Bake at 350°F for approximately 45 minutes (until firm). Cut into 8 pieces.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Heat the olive oil in a saute pan and add the scallions. Cook for 5 minutes or until soft. Meanwhile, squeeze most of the water out of the spinach and place it in a bowl. Add the scallions, dill, eggs, feta, salt, and pepper and mix together.
  • Keep the phyllo dough sheets covered with a damp kitchen towel. Unfold 1 sheet of the phyllo dough. Brush the sheet with melted butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Repeat the process by laying a second sheet of phyllo dough over the first sheet, brush it with melted butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs until all 10 sheets have been used. Spoon 3/4 cup of the spinach mixture into a sausage shape along one edge of the phyllo dough. Roll it up. Brush the top with butter and score the roll into 1-inch rounds. Place it on an oiled baking sheet. Repeat until all the pastry and filling have been used.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 12 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Serve warm.

1/2 cup olive oil
1 bunch chopped scallions, white and green parts
2 (10-ounce) boxes frozen chopped spinach, defrosted
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
3 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten
7 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
40 sheets (1 box) frozen phyllo dough (such as Pepperidge Farm), defrosted overnight in the refrigerator
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup plain dry breadcrumbs

"SPANAKOPITA" INSPIRED BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Spanakopita is probably my favorite food on earth, but it's a very labor-intensive dish, and is very high in calories, fat (including saturated fat from the rivers of butter it contains), and carbohydrates (one pound of phyllo dough!). This is how a poor bachelor Greek gets his home cooking on while keeping things light & healthy. This makes a hearty, protein-packed breakfast, satisfying lunch, or a quick & healthy main course for dinner served along side something like dolmades (stuffed grape leaves). By using eggs as the binding agent rather than cheese, you get a huge amount of good quality protein, and omitting the pastry crust cuts the calories dramatically - it also keeps in the fridge without getting soggy. If using fresh herbs / whole onion, adjust measurements and remove excess water by pressing spinach before adding eggs & baking.

Steps:

  • In a wide, shallow saucepan, melt butter and add spinach.
  • Cook spinach on medium heat until thawed and beginning to steam.
  • Add dill weed and onion powder, continue to cook while moving around pan continuously until spinach has wilted and most of the moisture has either been absorbed by the herbs or evaporated.
  • Once spinach has cooked, set aside to cool for a few minutes (you don't want the eggs to scramble when you add them).
  • Grease a 9 x 13 glass baking dish with olive oil (either from a spray - be sure the ingredients are just extra virgin olive oil & propellant - or put a few drops in the pan and wipe around the inside with a paper towel).
  • Beat eggs separately, then add to spinach mixture along with milk.
  • Add to greased baking dish, and using a fork, gently stir / whisk around the spinach / egg mixture until evenly mixed & distributed, breaking up any clumps.
  • Crumble feta cheese & sprinkle on top.
  • Bake in 350 degree oven for 40 minutes, until eggs are set and cheese is melted & just starting to brown.

BAKED SPANAKOPITA PASTA WITH GREENS AND FETA

This baked pasta is inspired by spanakopita, the classic Greek spinach and feta pie. This loose interpretation combines pasta with gooey mozzarella, briny feta, plenty of greens and a rich cream sauce, which is then piled into a dish and baked until golden. The key to this dish is in the greens: Use at least three kinds - a mellow one, a peppery one and a fresh herb or two - to create an exciting mix of flavors. No need to sauté them; just salt and massage them until they wilt slightly. This cozy dish might be the best way to eat your greens all year long.

Baked Spanakopita Pasta With Greens and Feta image

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Heat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • In a 3-quart/9-by-13-inch baking dish, toss the chopped spinach, arugula, herbs and scallion greens with 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Squeeze the mixture with your hands to wilt, then set aside.
  • Cook the pasta in the boiling water until 2 minutes shy of al dente; reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain pasta and set aside. Return the pot to the stove.
  • Melt the butter in the pot over medium heat. Add the scallion whites, garlic and a pinch of salt, and sauté until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the cream cheese and pasta water and stir until smooth. Stir in the wilted greens, half the mozzarella and half the feta until combined. Stir in the pasta until combined. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  • Transfer the pasta to the baking dish, then top with remaining mozzarella and feta. Bake until the sauce has thickened and bubbly and the top has browned in spots, 10 to 15 minutes. If you like a crisper top, broil for a few minutes.

Kosher salt and black pepper
4 cups chopped spinach, Swiss chard or other mild greens (tough stems removed)
4 cups chopped arugula, watercress or other peppery greens
1 cup chopped fresh dill or parsley leaves and tender stems, or a combination
6 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced, whites and dark green parts separated
1 pound tubular or curvy pasta, like rigatoni or fusilli
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
8 ounces cream cheese (1 cup), cut into 1/2-inch cubes
4 ounces mozzarella, grated (1 cup)
4 ounces crumbled feta (1 cup)
