Ingredients
1 ¼cupsunsalted butter (2 1/2 sticks)
3(10 ounce) packagesfrozen chopped spinach, thawed
6large eggs
2cupscottage cheese (16 ounces)
1(16 ounce) packageblock feta cheese, grated
¼teaspoonsalt
½teaspoonpepper
1(16 ounce) packagephyllo dough, thawed
Ice water for sprinkling
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Melt butter in a small saucepan; keep warm. Place thawed spinach in a colander; press to squeeze out as much water as possible. Roll the spinach in paper towels and press to get out any additional water. (The spinach should be quite dry.)
Beat eggs in a large bowl. Add cottage cheese and feta; stir until well combined. Crumble the spinach into the egg mixture and add 3 tablespoons of the melted butter. Mix until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
Carefully unroll phyllo and lay the stack flat on a work surface. Cover with a dish towel, and then cover that dish towel with a second slightly dampened dish towel. (This keeps the phyllo from drying out while you work.)
Trim any overhanging dough to the edge of the pan with scissors. Using a paring knife, gently turn the edges of the dough under. With the knife, gently score the top of the spanakopita into 24 squares, cutting through the top few layers of dough. Use your fingers to sprinkle the top of the spanakopita with a bit of ice water (this makes the top extra crispy).
Bake until the top layer is browned and crispy, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let cool slightly before cutting into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
