Step 2: Mixing Ingredients

In a large bowl, mix together the chopped spinach, feta cheese and remaining dry seasonings. Add the cooled pepper mixture and eggs, then stir well. Set aside. Now would be a good time to preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Step 3: Layering the Phyllo
Now this is the most difficult step, the phyllo dough is paper thin. First generously brush a large baking pan with melted margarine. Then begin layering the phyllo sheet, one sheet at a time. Brush each layer generously with the melted margarine. Layer about 10 sheets on the bottom of the pan. Then pour in the spinach mixture.

Next, fold over the phyllo dough and brush with margarine.

Now, layer on the remaning phyllo sheets, brushing each with margarine. Do not flatten the sheets as you go, the air bubbles will make your meal that much better.

Step 4: Spicy Spanakopita

After baking for about 1 hour, we now have the finished product. Not too shabby if I do say so myself. Adding the Marie Sharp’s Hot Sauce was a good call. I added about 3 tablespoons, which added just enough heat to every bite.
