BEST SPANAKOPITA EVER

This Spanakopita recipe is easy, crispy with an amazing flavorful spinach filling.
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound/ 16 oz. of pre washed baby spinach
3/4 pound sheep milk or cow milk feta cheese/ I used sheep milk feta
4 tbsp fresh chopped dill or1tbsp dry dill
3 thinly sliced spring onions
2 tbsp chopped fresh chives
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp salt
2 medium eggs/ 55 g each
1 pound whole ricotta cheese
1 whole package fillo dough
170 g melted cooled and unsalted butter
1 egg plus 1 tbsp water for egg wash
2 tbsp un toasted sesame seeds
2 tbsp black sesame seeds
PREPARATION:
Start by preheating the oven to 375°F. For the filling chop roughly 1 pound of baby spinach. Then chop the spring onions, dill, chives and add on top of the spinach. Crumble 3/4 pound of feta on top of everything, the black pepper, salt, oregano and two eggs. Mix well and set aside.
Start layering the fillo dough one after the other. Brush with a generous amount of the butter after each layer. You're going to add between 5 and 7 layers at the bottom. Add the whole amount of filling, spread evenly. Top with 5-7 layers of the dough and don't forget to butter each layer. Finish with and egg wash on top and slice into even squares. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of each square. Bake at 375°F for 30-35 minutes. Enjoy the most amazing crispy creamy spanakopita.

This looks delicious. It was ok to repeat to about the dough. I've never cooked with fillo dough. Your very thorough, in you instructions. Thank you for posting. This is a great recipe. It might be a bit expensive but per serving maybe not so much. Your easy to listen to.

I followed your recipe. It came out too salty and too buttery. I used non salted butter, but it was just too overwhelming 😢 I think also the dill gives it a strong salty taste
