A triangle-shaped fillo pie with spinach and cheese is a classic Greek pastry known as spanakopitakia. These are bite-sized versions of the larger spanakopita, consisting of a savory spinach and feta cheese filling encased in layers of flaky phyllo dough. They are a popular and delicious appetizer or snack.

Taste and texture

Crispy, flaky phyllo: The delicate, paper-thin sheets of phyllo dough are layered, often brushed with melted butter or olive oil, which gives them a golden, incredibly crisp texture when baked.
Rich, savory filling: The interior is filled with a flavorful mixture of spinach, tangy feta cheese, and sometimes creamy mizithra cheese.
Aromatic herbs: Fresh herbs like dill, parsley, and sometimes mint are used to enhance the flavor of the filling.
Perfect balance: The combination of the buttery, crunchy exterior and the soft, savory, and tangy filling is a hallmark of this dish.

Serving suggestions

Appetizer: These mini pies are a perfect finger food for parties, buffets, and other gatherings.
Snack: They make a satisfying and savory snack, and are often sold ready-to-bake in frozen packs for convenience.
Side dish: Serve alongside a fresh green salad or grilled meats to complete a Mediterranean-inspired meal.

Preparation

Triangle fillo pies are typically sold frozen for easy preparation.
