INGREDIENTS NOTES:

FRESH SPINACH:

  • We have to use fresh spinach and use frozen for convenience. We have to properly thaw & wring out any extra moisture to avoid the watery quiche and sauté the fresh spinach till it gets wilted & the extra water is cooked out.

FETA CHEESE:

  • We can use the traditional Greek feta as it gives spanakopita its characteristic salty, tangy flavor. We can also use the sheep or goat milk feta for a more traditional flavor, however, cow’s milk feta also works well.

HEAVY CREAM:

  • Heavy Cream provides the egg custard body and richness. You would also utilize the coconut cream or coconut milk (full-fat) as a substitute of dairy but it might change the taste.

FRESH DILL:

  • Fresh dill enhances the taste and goes well with spinach. You would also utilize the dried dill if fresh is not available.

GARLIC & ONION SEASONING:

  • We use the garlic and onion seasoning as sautéing these aromatics bringing out the depth & sweetness that counterbalances the savory cheese & herbs.

NUTMEG:

  • We have to use a small quantity of nutmeg although it’s not required.
