This dessert can be made even more easily than baklava by this awesome shortcut. Instead of using filo, which is very finicky, you can use shredded wheat cereal instead! The consistency is very similar and it’s sure to save you a lot of time and energy.

]]> Greek cuisine is always a highlight when visiting this country. They have the best pastries and desserts that you keep thinking about long after your vacation there. If you are as obsessed with spanakopita as we are, we found an easy recipe to try. The total time is 1 1/2 hour.

Ingredients

The ingredients you need are:
1 lb baby spinach
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 lb crumbled feta
10 phyllo sheets
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Start the preparations for the Greek spanakopita by setting the oven to 375 F degrees.

Get a skillet and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Melt it and add the spinach. Cook for 4 minutes, then drain all the liquid.

Chop the spinach and combine it with 1/2 teaspoon pepper, nutmeg, feta, 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Place the 1/2 cup butter in a skillet and melt it. Wait for it to cool down.

Place one phyllo sheet on your working spot, use a brush and butter to go over it. Cover it with another sheet. You should place them crosswise to get 6 strips.

Use 1 teaspoon of the spinach mix and fold the sheets into a triangle.

Place the spanakopita on a baking sheet. When you fill it, bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

Tyropita | Τυρόπιτα – #Greek cheese pie. I made a simple one with just four ingredients: feta, phyllo, olive oil and egg. Sometimes simple is best • #RECIPE: 1/2 pack phyllo 14 oz (400g) feta cheese 2 eggs Olive oil METHOD: Lay out your phyllo sheets (defrosted overnight in the fridge if frozen), and brush a 9-10 inch round pan with olive oil. Brush a sheet with oil and lay it in the pan. You want to drape it, not getting it perfectly flat – folds are good! They trap air and make for a crispier bottom! Repeat process with about six sheets, rotating them as you lay them so that the sides of the pan are all covered. Mix the crumbled feta and eggs. (You can use less feta and just one egg if using a smaller pan.) Place the filling in the pan and even out to the sides. The filling should be no more than a scant inch thick. Fold the phyllo sheets hanging over the sides of the pan over towards the center of the pie. Cover with two to three more sheets, brushed with oil. Scrunch the edges in (I press them down sort of messily with my pastry brush) and score the top. Bake about 1 hour in a 350 F / 180 C oven till golden brown.

Tzatziki is a traditional Greek yogurt sauce that is absolutely sumptuous. The main stars are yogurt, cucumbers, and dill, so there are a lot of flavors going on that all work super well together. This sauce can be used as a simple but powerful veggie dip, on the side for falafel or other fried types of patties, or even on your burger instead of mayo. Making it at home couldn’t be easier, so let’s get started!

Instructions

  1. First, start off by cutting a cucumber in half. Unless you’re using an English cucumber, scrape out the seeds. You can decide whether you want to peel it or not.
  2. Then, dice it into very small pieces and put it in a cloth. Try to wring out as much water from them as you can.
  3. Then, add them to a bowl of Greek yogurt.
  4. Chop up fresh dill and add that into the bowl as well.
  5. Then, squeeze in a whole lemon and pour in a few glugs of olive oil.
  6. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Finish with an extra drizzle of olive oil and some fresh pieces of dill on top. Enjoy right away or keep in the fridge for up to 3 days!
