Spanakopita is the traditional name for Greek spinach and feta pie. We used frozen spinach as it’s cheaper, readily available and there is less preparation involved. You can substitute other fresh, white cheeses for the feta, such as ricotta. Equipment pie or baking dish; pastry brush; large non-stick frying pan; wooden spoon; whisk; large mixing bowl
