Spanakopita is a classic Greek pie made by layering spinach and white cheese between thin sheets of filo and baking until crisp. Brushing and stacking each sheet without tearing it takes patience and a steady hand. Since it freezes well in slices, it can be prepared ahead of a crowded gathering.
Sauté the chopped spinach with the onion until it releases its liquid, drain and cool it, then mix with the white cheese, egg, dill and salt.
Brush half the filo sheets with melted butter one by one and layer them in a greased baking dish.
Spread the filling evenly over the layered filo, then brush and layer the remaining sheets on top, folding in the edges.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven until the top turns golden and crisp.
Keep the filo sheets covered with a damp cloth until you use them; left exposed, they dry out quickly and become brittle. Allergens: contains gluten (filo) and milk and dairy (white cheese, butter).
Replacing part of the white cheese with grated kaşar gives the filling a runnier texture and a more pronounced saltiness.
