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.
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.
Is Borek the same as spanakopita?
Pastries in the börek family are also called pita (pie): tiropita, spanakopita, and so on. Galaktoboureko is a syrupy phyllo pastry filled with custard, common throughout Greece and Cyprus.
Do you put egg in spanakopita?

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.
What can I substitute for filo pastry?
Puff Pastry Dough
The most common substitute you will find for phyllo is puff pastry dough. The popularity of this choice is mainly due to the availability of puff pastry and the fact that it is also commonly used as pie dough. However, to keep in mind, some puff pastry doughs work much better than others.

STORING SPANAKOPITA
Leftover spanakopita can be kept in the fridge for 2-3 days. Reheat in the oven (180C / 350F) for 10 minutes or until warmed through. I don’t recommend microwaving as this will make the pastry soggy.
Should spanakopita be served warm?
The pastries can be served hot, though the filling can be extremely hot. Alternatively, spanakopita can be served in the traditional Greek way, only slightly warm. Often, Tzatziki sauce, a dip of yogurt, garlic and cucumbers, accompanies spanakopita, though many feel the pastry is rich enough without embellishment.
