spanakopitas
Flaky spinach triangles
Spanakopitas are Greek pastries filled with spinach and feta cheese, wrapped in layers of flaky phyllo dough.
The singular is spanakopita.
They appear as appetizers, side dishes, or snacks—either as individual triangles or cut from a larger pan: We ordered spanakopitas and hummus to start.
