Skillet Spanakopita
Taken from How to Cook Everything Fast, page 468-469
Ingredients
- 10 to 12 sheets of phyllo dough
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 scallions
- two 10-ounce bags of spinach
- salt and pepper
- 2 eggs
- 6 ounces feta cheese (1 1/2 cups crumbled)
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 4 tablespoons butter
Directions
- Remove phyllo from freezer. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Put olive oil in a medium ovenproof skillet over low heat. Trim and chop the scallions and spinach.
- Raise the heat to medium-high and add scallions and spinach, a handful at a time; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently until the spinach leaves are just wilted, 2 to 3 minutes after the last addition.
- Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and beat them.
- Crumble 1 1/2 cups feta and add to the bowl. Add dill and nutmeg. Melt the butter.
- Cut the phyllo into thin shreds.
- When the spinach is wilted, stir in the egg and feta mixture and sprinkle the shredded phyllo dough over the top. Drizzle the melted butter over the phyllo.
- Bake until the phyllo is crisp, about 30 minutes. Cut the pie into wedges and serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.
