Crispy Mini Spinach Pie Bites: A Greek Spanakopita Recipe

Features:
    Cuisine:

    These were a good starting point. I prefer a larger ratio of feta to spinach. My dh took one bite and spit it out because it was too spinachy for him. Next time I will add a sauteed onion with garlic and at least a whole pound of feta. The triangles are cute for an appetizer too!
