GREEK SPINACH BAKE

Spanakopita is the Greek name for this traditional dish featuring spinach and feta cheese. You can serve it as a side dish or meatless main dish. My dad and I used to fight over the last piece. -Sharon Olney, Galt, California

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 cups fresh spinach or 8 ounces frozen chopped spinach
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium red onion, minced
2 bunches green onions, chopped
4 ounces crumbled feta cheese, any variety
1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
8 eggs
2 teaspoons dill
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
salt
pepper
oregano
nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Rinse and drain spinach. Put the spinach in a large pot with no additional water (the water clinging to the leaves from rinsing will be enough), and cover and steam it over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Drain the spinach in a colander. While it's cooling, heat the olive oil in a skillet. Add the red and green onions and sauté until tender - about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Squeeze the excess water out of the spinach leaves, chop them coarsely (if you have kitchen shears, you can cut up the spinach right in the colander), and put the spinach in a mixing bowl. Add the onions, ricotta cheese, eggs, herbs and spices and stir well. Mix in the feta cheese last so it will stay fairly chunky.
  • Place in a greased 9x9 pan. Bake at 350°F for approximately 45 minutes (until firm). Cut into 8 pieces.
