I absolutely adore a spinach pie of any kind. Phyllo for the win!! Such a smart thing to have on the table Thanksgiving day.

This looks so good!! I just went to a friend’s house for dinner, and they made something similar, and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about how I need to make it. Thank you for the recipe and push to do it! :)

Would love to see your approach!

I am starting a list of ideas for our Christmas dinner (11-13 people), and this sounds perfect! BTW, I use a potato "ricer" to squeeze the liquid from thawed (frozen) spinach, but I'll start your steaming method!

Ok, this is going on our Thanksgiving table!

I love cooking with Phyllo and even if you think you have a bit left over, adding another sheet won’t hurt, just adds more to crunch on. Thank you for this recipe, it sounds delicious, particularly with the added dates.

What would be the best substitute for the bleu cheese????

Feta and cottage cheese is another good combo - the cottage cheese gets creamy and the feta gives it a punch. Sounds odd but my Greek grandmother used it and her spanokopita was always the best.

Hadn't thought of that -- sounds delicious, and ups the protein, too!

Feta would be great! But truly any cheese. Since ricotta is so mild in flavor I think a pungent one is useful here.
