Spanakopita Bites image

For an easy spanakopita, try this version that is made in a pan, then cut into squares. It has all the wonderful taste of the classic version-buttery phyllo with a spinach-cheese filling-but is so simple to do. -Barbara Smith, Chipley, Florida

These spanakopita bites are a great way to use up leftover spinach. I always have a bunch of spinach in my fridge, so this is a great way to use it up.

I was skeptical about how these would turn out, but I was pleasantly surprised. They were crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside, just like traditional spanakopita.
