How to Make Spanakopita Armenian Style

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped spinach, feta cheese, ricotta cheese, eggs, onion, olive oil, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
  3. Lay out a sheet of filo pastry. Brush lightly with melted butter. Top with another sheet of filo, and brush again with melted butter. Continue layering until you have 3-4 sheets (or as many as the recipe calls for).
  4. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the spinach mixture onto one corner of the layered filo. Fold the corner over to form a triangle, then continue folding to create a neat triangle shape. Practice on a napkin if you're not comfortable!
  5. Repeat with the remaining filo and spinach mixture, creating triangles.
  6. Place the triangles on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top of each triangle with melted butter.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your deliciously cheesy Armenian Spanakopita!
