    This is a regular installment in my menus! It's easy to do, healthy and delicious. If I don't have sour cream on hand, I use plain yogurt. If I don't have either, I just don't add it. We like feta, so I add a bit more than she calls for. It's delicious as written, though.

    The phyllo dough was very messy but you can use butter to fix the broken pieces. Overall, very tasty.

    Simple and delicious! A great vegetarian dish. I used 2 sheets of phyllo per roll so that they would not tear. And one thing to remember that the recipe doesn't mention is that phyllo dries out very quickly! Cover it with a damp towel while you're working to keep it soft. Thanks Rachael!

    My first time making spanikopita at home....always get this at one of our local restaurants....recipe very similar. Very, very easy and quick! I used garlic instead of onions. Yummy! Poecat517

    I thought this was great, especially for the short time it takes to put together. I used five phyllo sheets, but because I had to work so quickly to get the butter on them, I decided to butter half and then fold the other half over. So I really had ten layers which was awesome. I also had to fold them differently because I could only find one size, but that makes no real difference. Good stuff!

    I am not an authentic Greek and do not claim to make authentic Greek food. I did however give some of this recipe to an "authentic Greek" and she loved it. Authentic or not, most people don't seem to care.

    I tried this as a meal once, and it was great, but I like it even better as an appetizer. Just make smaller portions. It has always been a hit, I get asked to make it all the time now!

    Reviewing this recipe and its many reviews I was shocked. As a Greek and avid spanakopita maker, the addition of sour cream and nutmeg is far from authentic. While nutmeg is a common spice in many Greek dishes, we rarely include the use of sour cream, true spanakopita is made without these ingredients. Also, when making Greek food it is imperative to use correct pronunciation of the dish, as Rachel Ray fails to do. For an authentic recipe, I strongly suggest, realgreekrecipes.com. Hope this helps.
    True Greek.

    All the delicious flavors of spanikopita, with a lot less work. Of course, I double the feta cheese!
