How to Make Albanian Spinach Pie Byrek Me Spinaq Or Pite
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Layer half of the filo sheets (approximately 8-10 sheets) in the prepared pan, overlapping slightly and letting them hang about 1 inch over the edges. Brush each layer with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- In a large bowl, thoroughly combine 10 oz (280g) fresh spinach (chopped), 1/2 teaspoon salt, 4 oz (115g) crumbled feta cheese, 1/2 cup (1/2 medium) finely chopped onion, and 2 large eggs.
- Spread the spinach mixture evenly over the filo layers in the pan.
- Layer the remaining filo sheets over the spinach filling, brushing each layer with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Tuck the overhanging filo edges from the bottom layer over the filling.
- Brush the top of the pie with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the filo is golden brown and crispy. If the pie starts to brown too quickly, loosely cover the top with foil.
- Let the byrek cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy hot with buttermilk, thinned yogurt, or chilled stewed prunes!
