I've made this dish multiple time over the past 2 or 3 years and my family loves it. It is a little time consuming putting the mix on the phyllo dough and folding it up but soooo worth it!

Just as good as the spana I get at my favourite greek restaurant! I layered it in a 9x13 pan as suggested by another user. YUM!

This was the first time I've made Spanakopita. I found it a bit time consuming but once I got the hang of making them it went quicker. I love them!! I will make them again.

Excellent. Added more feta cheese than this recipe called for though, and a tad more dill too. Season all salt instead of regular salt for more flavor. So easy to make and looks/tastes delicious!

Phyllo pastry was not as difficult to work with as some reviewers made it to be. We definitely did not make 27 triangles, but perhaps we stuffed our triangles too full! Very filling and very delicious - 45 min was perfect, but waiting for them to cool enough to eat them was torture!

Exellent job Mary! This is the best recipe I've seen for authentic Greek Spanakopita :)! I agree with THELASTBARON 100% about not using other cheeses and most definitely NO cinnamon! I would like to add though that being Greek and being around my family who makes this all the time, we also add a bunch of green onion, this adds to the flavour and gives it the extra sweetness! Once again high five to Mary for a true Greek pita :)! Ty!

This recipe is AMAZING! I made it in a glass pan instead of making individual ones as one member suggested and it was so easy. I also used cooking spray instead of butter between layers to cut calories and this worked well too.

My guests really enjoyed this appetizer. The feta cheese is pretty salty so next time I'll omit adding any extra salt to the spinach mixture.

This is a great recipe - and so authentic! It's my go-to recipe for parties and pot-lucks, and I never have any to take back home.

I have been in love with the Spanakopita that a local place serves, and couldn't wait to try this recipe! So good!! Did make a few changes though. Used fresh spinach and sauteed it with one onion and a teaspoon of garlic. Added an extra container of feta cheese, and a handful of parmesan cheese. I omitted the extra salt and glad I did so because the feta is salty enough, and only used 2 eggs. Turned out perfect!!
