SPANAKOPITA BITES
For an easy spanakopita, try this version that is made in a pan, then cut into squares. It has all the wonderful taste of the classic version-buttery phyllo with a spinach-cheese filling-but is so simple to do. -Barbara Smith, Chipley, Florida

SOUTHWEST SPANAKOPITA BITES
I'm a big fan of the Southwest-style egg rolls served at restaurants and wanted to re-create them without the fat of deep frying. Phyllo dough was the solution! For a main dish, I fill small flour tortillas with the filling and bake. -Marianne Shira, Osceola, Wisconsin

EASY SPANAKOPITA BITES
Delicious muffin-like snacks -- eaten hot or cold -- or warmed up as a side dish. Fantastic for busy times and guests, as they can be made ahead, kept in the fridge, heated up and served with other goodies on a platter. Also nice served with a tomato salsa with a bite, or plain with grated Parmesan cheese. Recipe from a great Mediterrranean-type restaurant in the Winelands of the Cape, called Olivello -- but as usual I tweaked it a little.

Steps:
- Put a pot of water on to boil, and when boiling, chuck in the spinach. Boil for about 3 - 4 minutes, until wilted and soft. Drain well in a colander, and cut up roughtly with a knife and fork.
- Grease a muffin tin with oil or butter (I use a silicone muffin pan which is really great). Heat oven to 325 deg F/160 degC or 150 deg C for fan/convection ovens.
- Put all the ingredients in a large bowl, and mix roughly with a wooden spoon. (I did not find that extra salt was necessary, but you may want to add a little).
- Then mix well together with an electric beater.
- Fill 12 muffin holes -- you can fill almost to the top, and they won't rise high and cause a mess.
- Bake about 40 minutes, until firm and starting to colour just a little. Cool in the tin, then remove. Serve sprinkled with parmesan cheese.
- (Can easily be a nice side dish if served warm).

I was in charge of the faculty meeting treats, and I wanted to do something a little different. I have always loved Spanakopita since I did a project in college on Greek cooking. This was a hit!
