    Everybody knows about traditional Greek spinach pie called Spanakopita. And more importantly, everybody loves it. Creamy spinach mixed with feta and Parmesan Cheese and baked to perfection in crispy fillo shells... I am drooling already.

    I've always been a huge fan of Spanakopita. I order it every time I visit Greek restaurants, and sometimes I order an extra slice to go. About two years ago, I made my first Spanakopita, it turned out as tasty as the one from the restaurant and SO EASY to make. Since then, I have cooked it pretty often. I created this Spanakopita Quesadilla recipe, which my readers really love, and today, I introduce these Easy Spanakopita Bites!

      These are great! I used a 10 oz package of frozen spinach and had lots of filling left over. I am making them again and this time bought two packages of shells.

        Hi Reny! I think you'll need about 1 1/2 cups of thawed (liquid squeezed out) spinach. Let me know if you try this recipe!
