These spanakopita pockets were a great way to use up some leftover spinach. They were also a great way to get my kids to eat their vegetables.

I've tried many spanakopita recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The filling is perfectly seasoned and the dough is flaky and crispy.

These spanakopita pockets were a bit too oily for my taste.

I followed the recipe exactly and my spanakopita pockets turned out great! They were crispy and golden brown on the outside and the filling was flavorful and moist on the inside.
