VIRGINIA'S GREEK TYROPITA

The most delicious version I have ever eaten - this even beat the version I ate while in Greece. I attended a Greek festival at St Barbara Greek Orthodox Church in Orange CT, and the lady who prepared this dish was kind enough to share the recipe on the spot. She has made it so many times, she knows it by memory. She said that salt is not needed as the feta is already salty enough. NOTE: It is very important to use the correct size pan as specified in the instructions. Using a 9x13 pan will not produce the correct result.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300°F.
  • Combine cheeses, eggs,and season to taste with about 1 tsp of pepper, mixing well to combine.
  • Lightly butter a large jelly roll pan or rectangular pan with low sides (about 11" x 14") and place a sheet or two of phyllo pastry to cover the pan.
  • Brush lightly again with butter, then repeat until you have 10 layers (go easy on the butter).
  • Spread filling evenly in pan.
  • Top with another 10 layers of phyllo, tucking in and folding the corners, buttering each layer as before.
  • Using a clean spray bottle filled with some cold water, gently mist the entire surface (this will produce a crispy top layer).
  • Cut into 24 squares, then pop into the preheated oven and bake about 1 hour.

32 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
32 ounces cottage cheese, drained
1 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
8 large eggs, lightly beaten
ground black pepper, to taste
16 ounces prepared raw phyllo pastry (#4 thickness)
1/4 cup butter, melted (or as needed)
water, as needed to spritz pan

VIRGINIA'S EXCELLENT GREEK SPANAKOPITA

I attended a local annual Greek Festival this Labor Day weekend in Orange, CT called "Odyssey" at the ST Barbara Greek Orthodox Church. Throughout the day, several cooking classes were held, free of charge, taught by a very nice lady from Greece named Virginia. The next class was about to start, so I decided to watch, even though it was for a recipe I already thought I knew how to make - spanakopita. Well - Virginia's version blew mine away and now this is the version I will only use from now on. This has a lot more fresh herbs and two types of onions, and lots of eggs, more than any recipe for spanakopita I had ever used. Virginia said that you cut the finished recipe into 24 servings, so really, 8 eggs isn't too many. She also said that you may use fresh spinach, finely chopped to equal the same amount as the frozen, but that it is not necessary since the frozen comes pre-chopped and will be getting cooked anyway. She also said that she makes her own pastry for this, but that it is perfectly fine to use a good quality brand of boxed phyllo pastry (which is what she used in the class). She specifically mentioned not adding any salt, as the feta is already salty enough. Also, she used Parmesan because that is what is available in the US - in Greece she would use a similar Greek cheese, such as mizithra.

Steps:

  • Defrost, drain, and squeeze the spinach dry as possible and set aside.
  • Heat a large skillet and add oil.
  • Saute onion for a few minutes, just until they begin to get translucent, not brown.
  • Add scallions and saute a few minutes longer.
  • Add parsley and dill and saute for a few seconds.
  • Season with pepper (she poured some into the cap of the pepper jar and dumped it in- she said approximately 1 tsp).
  • Combine lightly beaten eggs, spinach,feta,Parmesan cheese, and the onions mixture in a large bowl, mixing gently until combined.
  • Using a pastry brush,very lightly butter a large jelly roll pan (approx 11"x14")- it should be a large rectangular shape with fairly low sides.
  • Set a sheet or two of phyllo pastry into the pan to evenly cover the bottom, and then brush very lightly with butter (she said to not go overboard with the butter).
  • Repeat until you have 10 layers of pastry in the pan (if using #4 thickness; if using the thicker #7 size, then make 1 or 2 fewer layers).
  • Spread spinach mixture evenly in the pan.
  • Preheat oven to 300°F.
  • Meanwhile, layer another 10 layers of phyllo pastry on top, as before, folding and tucking in edges at the corners as you go.
  • Using a clean spray bottle filled with some cold water, lightly mist surface- this will produce a crispy top layer.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut into 24 squares.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour.
