Can I use puff pastry instead of filo?
Sure both are many layered (unlike the traditional pâté brisée that we use in so many of our recipes), but puff pastry and phyllo are not interchangeable. If you compared the two, phyllo would look like a sheaf of tissue paper while puff pastry would seem much thicker, more like regular pastry dough.
What is the difference between puff pastry and phyllo pastry?
Puff pastry is a laminated dough that gets its signature airy puff from layers of butter, while phyllo dough is comparatively low-fat. Phyllo dough includes only flour, water, vinegar, and a little oil. The fine sheets of pastry dough result in a crispy, crackly effect when layered and baked.
Why is my spanakopita soggy on the bottom?
The main two reason for soggy spanakopita is the spinach or the ricotta cheese. Spinach must be well wilted. Look for little to no remaining moisture in the skillet. If you do this ahead of time, put it in the fridge, uncovered to let it dry out even more.
Do you put egg in spanakopita?
Mix feta cheese, ricotta cheese, and eggs in a medium bowl until well combined. Stir in spinach mixture. Lay one sheet of phyllo dough in the prepared baking pan, and brush lightly with olive oil. Lay another sheet of phyllo dough on top and brush with olive oil.
Why is puff pastry unhealthy?
While it does have some micronutrients, puff pastry is high in fats and carbs. A single serving of 100 grams of puff pastry contains a massive 551 calories. Refined flour-based puff pastry offers no fibre that promotes satiety. Instead, it can spike blood sugar and disrupt digestive health.
Which is healthier puff pastry or filo pastry?
Even better, switch your pastry from shortcrust or puff to filo. This is the lowest-fat pastry by far, with 2.9g fat per 100g. This compares with 26.2g for puff or 31.4g for shortcrust. Filo is the lowest-calorie option too, and it’s easy to use.
How many layers of phyllo dough should I use?
Typically, phyllo dishes should have a finished thickness of 3 to 10 sheets per layer. (A one-pound box of phyllo contains about 20 sheets.) Tip: Phyllo pastries can often be very brittle when baked.

How do you keep phyllo cups from getting soggy?
As soon as you pull the baked brie cups from the oven, transfer them to a wire rack. The air circulating underneath the phyllo will prevent them from becoming soggy. Keep phyllo cups on a wire rack until ready to serve.
Is baklava the same as spanakopita?
Baklava or spanakopita are examples of phyllo dough, featuring lighter layers and less rise as you cut through the crispy dough. Because of the different textural features, the two doughs cannot necessarily be used interchangeably (via Taste of Home).
How do you keep spanakopita crispy?
Bake. Once you’re oven is hot at 350ºF, bake spanakopita in the oven until the top is golden brown and crispy, about one hour.
What goes well with spanakopita?
Spanakopita makes a great side dish for large holiday dinners next to lamb or lemon chicken. But it can easily stand alone as the main dish. Serve it with a big salad like Greek salad; Balela; or this Mediterranean chickpea salad, and favorite dips like Greek Tzatziki or Roasted Garlic Hummus.
Do you eat spanakopita hot or cold?
Spinach and Feta Spanakopita Triangles can be eaten as a snack or an appetizer, hot or cold, on their own or with a bit of a refreshing Cucumber and Yogurt Dip (Tzatziki). The pie can be made into individual portions, as you see in this post, or layered in a baking dish and then cut into squares, kind of like baklava.
