Introduction
Imagine the rich, savory flavors of traditional Greek spanakopita transformed into bite-sized, flaky cookies—perfect for parties, appetizers, or a gourmet snack! These Spinach and Feta Spanakopita Cookies combine buttery phyllo dough, tangy feta, and vibrant spinach in a crispy, golden package. Easier to make than classic spanakopita (no layering required!), they’re a crowd-pleasing twist on the original. Serve them warm for an irresistible melt-in-your-mouth experience.
The Science Behind the Recipe
Phyllo Dough Magic: Paper-thin layers of phyllo puff up when baked, creating air pockets from steam (thanks to its high water content and minimal fat). Brushing with butter ensures crispiness.
Spinach Prep: Blanching or wilting spinach removes excess water, preventing soggy dough.
Feta Function: Its salty tang balances the spinach, while its crumbly texture melds perfectly with the filling.
