Filling

Phyllo Dough

Caramelized Shallot Cream

Method

Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté Spinach

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and sauté until wilted, approximately 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

  2. 2

    Caramelize Shallots

    Finely slice the shallots. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the shallots over low heat until they turn golden brown and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Mix Filling

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, caramelized shallots, feta cheese, ricotta cheese, eggs, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Mix until well combined and set aside.

Phyllo Dough Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare Phyllo Sheets

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Melt the butter and set it aside. Unroll the phyllo dough and cover it with a damp cloth to prevent it from drying out.

  2. 5

    Layer Phyllo Dough

    Take one sheet of phyllo dough, brush it with melted butter, and then lay another sheet on top. Repeat this process until you have 4-5 layers.

  3. 6

    Add Filling

    Place a portion of the filling along one edge of the layered phyllo dough. Fold the sides over the filling and roll it tightly to form a log. Repeat with the remaining filling and phyllo dough.

Baking

  1. 7

    Bake Spanakopita

    Place the rolled spanakopita on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with any remaining melted butter. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Caramelized Shallot Cream Preparation

  1. 8

    Make Cream Sauce

    In a saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add finely sliced shallots and sauté until soft and caramelized, about 10 minutes.

  2. 9

    Add Cream

    Pour in the heavy cream, and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
