Top Layer and Finish:
- Layer another 6-8 sheets of phyllo pastry on top, brushing each sheet with butter or oil. Make sure to tuck in the edges.
Tips:
- Phyllo Handling: Phyllo pastry dries out quickly, so keep it covered with a damp cloth while working with it.
- Butter or Oil: You can use either melted butter or olive oil for brushing the phyllo layers. Butter adds flavor, while olive oil provides a lighter option.
- Customization: Feel free to add other ingredients like chopped sautéed onions or pine nuts for added flavor and texture.
- Serving: Spanakopita can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or even a light main course. It’s often enjoyed with a squeeze of lemon juice.
Following these steps and tips should help you create a delicious and impressive spanakopita that’s sure to impress your family and friends!
