Spanakopita Pinwheels
CCP-Preview
There’s something irresistibly comforting about spanakopita, the classic Greek spinach pie. But what if I told you that I’ve found a way to make it even more fun, portable, and perfect for any occasion? Introducing my Spanakopita Pinwheels – bite-sized, flaky, and bursting with the delicious flavors of spinach and feta. These pinwheels are an easy yet impressive appetizer that you can whip up in no time, perfect for parties, brunches, or even a quick snack.
A Modern Spin on Tradition
The inspiration for this recipe came from my love for traditional spanakopita but also from a desire to make it a little more modern and convenient. By turning the classic pie into pinwheels, I was able to capture all the savory goodness while making it easier to share and enjoy at any gathering. Plus, pinwheels are such a visually appealing dish; the swirl of spinach and cheese wrapped in golden puff pastry just begs to be eaten!
Versatile and Perfect for any Occasion
What I love most about these Spanakopita Pinwheels is how versatile they are. You can make a big batch and serve them fresh out of the oven, but they also store wonderfully in the freezer, making them a great make-ahead option. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or preparing for game night, these savory bites are sure to be a hit. The combination of spinach, tangy feta, and fragrant herbs like dill and parsley wrapped in crispy puff pastry creates an irresistible flavor explosion in every bite.
Easy and Beginner Friendly
Another great aspect of this recipe is how beginner-friendly it is. While traditional spanakopita may seem intimidating with layers of phyllo dough, using store-bought puff pastry takes out the fuss while still delivering that flakiness we love. The filling comes together in just minutes—fresh spinach, creamy feta, and a hint of nutmeg to elevate the flavors. Roll it all up, slice, and bake… as simple as that!
So, whether you’re looking for a crowd-pleasing appetizer or just want to try a fresh take on a Greek classic, my Spanakopita Pinwheels are the perfect solution.
