- Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). This will ensure that your spanakopita turns out perfectly crispy and golden brown.
- In a bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vegetable oil, water, and salt until well combined. This will be the base of your delicious filling.
- Next, add the spinach and feta to the mixture, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything together until the spinach and feta are evenly distributed.
- Now, it’s time to prepare the filo dough. Take one sheet of filo dough and lay it flat on a clean surface. Brush it lightly with the egg yolk mixture.
- Repeat this process with two more sheets of filo dough, placing each one on top of the previous sheet and brushing it with the egg yolk mixture.
- Once you have layered the three sheets of filo dough, spoon the spinach and feta mixture onto one end of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Now, carefully roll the filo dough, enclosing the filling inside. Make sure to tuck the edges in as you go to create a tight and secure roll.
- Place the spanakopita on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and brush the top with the remaining egg yolk mixture. This will give it a beautiful golden color when it bakes.
- Bake the spanakopita in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until it becomes golden and crispy. Once it’s done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
- Cut your Easy Spanakopita into slices and serve it warm. The combination of the flaky filo dough and the savory spinach and feta filling is simply irresistible!
