Spanakopita rolls are made from phyllo dough filled with a savory mixture of:

  • Spinach (often sautéed or steamed)

  • Feta cheese (crumbled)

  • Onions (usually green onions or scallions)

  • Fresh herbs like dill and parsley

  • Eggs to bind the mixture

  • Optional: a bit of ricotta or cream cheese for creaminess

They’re rolled up into cigar-shaped parcels or triangles and baked until golden and crispy.

🇬🇷 Greek Tradition

In Greece, spanakopita is a beloved staple—often served at family gatherings, holidays, or even as a quick lunch. The roll form makes it easy to serve at meze (appetizer) tables or pack for picnics.

🥣 How They’re Made

  1. Prepare the filling: Sauté onions, add chopped spinach, cook off moisture, then mix with cheeses, herbs, and eggs.

  2. Assemble: Brush phyllo dough with olive oil or butter, add filling, and roll tightly.

  3. Bake: Golden brown at around 375°F (190°C) for 20–30 minutes.
