Inspired by the Greek Spanakopita, this dish is seriously easy but still has the wow factor. You could serve this as part of a mezze with olives, crusty bread and hummus or on its own as a lunch or starter. These are best eaten as soon as they are cooked, when the pastry is nice and crisp, but you could always have any leftovers for lunch the next day. The salty feta means you don’t need any seasoning at all, and the spinach can just go in raw to prevent too much moisture and the pastry going soggy.
Ingredients
