Tips for Perfect Spanakopita Triangles
Remove as much moisture from the spinach as possible.

Brush each layer lightly rather than soaking it with butter.
Allow the filling to cool before assembling.
Use high-quality feta cheese for the best flavor.
Bake until deeply golden for maximum crispness.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen spinach?
Yes. Use 10 ounces (280 g) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and thoroughly drained.
Can I make them ahead?
Yes. Assemble up to one day ahead and refrigerate until ready to bake.
What can I substitute for feta cheese?
Goat cheese, ricotta salata, or a mixture of ricotta and Parmesan can be used, though feta provides the traditional flavor.
Why is my phyllo dough tearing?
Phyllo dries out quickly. Keep unused sheets covered with a slightly damp towel while assembling.
