What is the difference between spanakopita and tiropita?
Like spanakopia, tiropita is also a savory Greek pie that’s wrapped in a phyllo crust, but its filling is different than spanakopita. Instead of spinach, herbs, and feta, tiropita is filled with a mixture of cheese and eggs.
How do you keep spanakopita from getting soggy?
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.
How do I make my spanakopita crisp?
Place the triangles on a baking sheet. Lightly brush the tops with the melted butter, and sprinkle with a pinch of the sea salt. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the phyllo is browned and crisp. Serve hot!!
What is a good accompaniment to spanakopita?

Should spanakopita be served hot or cold?
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.
Does spanakopita reheat well?
– Already cooked spanakopita will keep well if properly storied in the fridge for 2 to 3 evenings. Heat in medium-heated oven until warmed through. You can also portion cooked leftover spanakopita and freeze for a later time. Warm in oven; no need to thaw in advance.
Is spanakopita eaten hot or cold?
