This recipe was amazing! I'm a relatively inexperienced cook, but this was extremely easy to make, and was a big hit with my roommate. I changed up a few things according to my personal tastes... I sauteed the onion first in a little bit of olive oil, and I added some Greek seasoning to the mixture (no idea what's in it, but it's got a great flavor). I also substitued one 2-cup package of shredded Italian cheeses (comes pre-packaged and includes parmesan, asiago, romano, and mozzarella) for the parmesan and jack cheeses. The only bit I had trouble with was the phyllo. The pies came out nicely browned and flaky, with no spillage of the spinach mixture, but it was a little too papery for me. I think next time I'll use puff pastry sheets or maybe even crescent roll dough like another user suggested. I'll also add a little garlic, as I'm a HUGE fan of garlic in just about everythign! Great recipe, though, I absolutely loved it!

I substituted one cup crumbled feta for one cup of the mozzarella cheese, which gave it a great flavor. The only problem I had was that the phyllo dough split open during baking, even when I used a triple layer of dough. I think I'll use more layers and lay the rolls next to each other in a smaller pan, so they support each other. Still, everybody raved about this, and even my kids ate it!

this was really good but i felt like it needed a little something more... maybe it was the onions that i left out. i added garlic to the spinach mixture thought. i will make this again definitely and add the onions.

Yummy! My husband loved this, he even finished all the leftovers within a day... that's a first in my house. I did add a little bit of feta cheese to it, we like the traditional greek flavor.

Wow, I had doubts because I didn't think cottage cheese was a great ingredient. But it was fantastic - the cottage cheese seemed liked it melded (and melted) with the other ingredients and wasn't....cottage cheesey. My preschool kids liked it, which is rare because they are suspicious of dishes whose ingredients they can't identify. Cheese covers a multitude of culinary sins. Impressively easy and tasty.

I loved these spinach pies. I had trouble with the phyllo dough, but that was probably my fault.

My husband loved these! I used crescent rolls instead of the phyllo dough...very easy. I have been requested to make again.

The taste was good, but my filling went everywhere and the part that spilled out was inedible. I think I would also increase the spinach to cheese ratio next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but I felt it was too heavy with cheese and the onion was surprisingly powerful. I didn't think when I was adding onion that it was that much, but I think since it wasn't cooked first it dominated the flavor. This was the first time I used phyllo dough, so I wasn't expecting it to be perfect, and it wasn't. I rolled it up tightly, and scored it on top, but the contents still spilled out when it baked. Not pretty. up.

This was good, however the onion was too much for us. I think next time I'll use a teaspoon of Onion powder rather than chopping up onion (equivalent to what the recipe requires). The texture of the onion in this dish was a turn off for my family. But will prepare this dish again!! Thanks!

This was an amazing recipe! It was so simple and it literally took mere minutes to throw together. I don't think it really matters what kind of cheese you use. I used fresh spinach and this still tasted great. It also makes for great leftovers. I made it all for myself and it was my lunch for an entire week (plus dinner once or twice - depending on serving size, of course, but a little bit will do ya!) I will definitely try this again. I might add mushrooms to it or potatoes - it was really that versatile. Didn't use phyllo dough, per se, but I used "baking pastry dough" - it's basically the same thing. Can't recommend enough!

I made this at work today it is absolutely delicious. I need make a couple of change though. I sauteed ground beef with the onions and added some seasonings. I mixed it with the remaining ingredients and put a scoop on an 5" puffed pastry square which I then fold and pinched like a turnover. I brushed the tops with egg whites and baked a 400 until puffed and golden.. Awesome!! Thanks Brenda
