1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 pastry for double-crust pie
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375.

Tips:

  • For a crispy phyllo crust, make sure to brush each layer with melted butter before assembling the pie.
  • To prevent the spinach from releasing too much moisture, squeeze out any excess water before adding it to the filling.
  • Use fresh, flavorful cheeses for the filling. A combination of feta, ricotta, and Parmesan is a classic choice, but you can also experiment with other types of cheese.
  • Add some chopped herbs, such as dill, parsley, or chives, to the filling for extra flavor.
  • If you don't have time to make the phyllo dough from scratch, you can use store-bought puff pastry instead.
  • To make sure the pie is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the pie is ready.
