Easy Greek Spinach Pie

Spinach Pie, also known as Spanakopita, is a savory Greek dish found in most Greek restaurants. I use refrigerated pie crust and frozen spinach to make Easy Greek Spinach Pie. 

When I eat out at ethnic restaurants, I tend to have a few all-time favorite dishes and I stick to those most of the time. For Greek, Spanakopita or Spinach Pie is always at the top of my list. Now I also make it at home with my Easy Greek Spinach Pie recipe.

I’ve been on a hand-pie kick lately so I decided to make this a little hand-held spinach pie. They are perfect for school or work lunches or even a quick snack. My husband, Vince, likes to grab one (OK usually two) for breakfast on his way out the door in the morning.

I use traditional ingredients, puff pastry, spinach, onion, feta cheese and some Greek seasoning. My favorite Greek seasoning is Cavender’s All Purpose Greek Seasoning filled with a blend of seasonings that go perfectly with my Easy Greek Spinach Pie.
