Made with fresh spinach, feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and fragrant herbs, all wrapped in delicate phyllo layers, this savory pie is the best way to enjoy a Mediterranean diet-inspired meal with minimal effort. This has become one of my favorite weeknight meals! I'm a sucker for feta and this puts it to GREAT use.

Ingredients

Full recipe, instructions and photos in the recipe card at the end of this post

  • Fresh spinach: Fresh spinach gives this pie a vibrant, earthy flavor and tender texture. You can also use frozen spinach in a pinch—just be sure to thaw and squeeze out excess water.
  • Sun-dried tomatoes: These little flavor bombs add a sweet, tangy richness that pairs beautifully with feta. Choose oil-packed for extra flavor and softer texture.
  • 1.5 tablespoon oil from the sun-dried tomatoes: Don’t waste that infused oil—it adds instant flavor to the sautéed onions and spinach, and gives the filling depth and richness
  • White onion: Adds a gentle sweetness and savory base to the filling. Dice it finely so it softens quickly and blends into the pie without overpowering.
  • Feta Cheese: Salty, creamy, and tangy, feta is the heart of this pie. Use a block and crumble it yourself for better texture and flavor.
  • Fresh parsley: This bright, slightly peppery herb lifts the flavors and gives the filling freshness
  • Fresh Dill: A classic Mediterranean herb that adds a grassy, almost citrusy note. It complements both the spinach and the feta perfectly.
  • Fresh Chives: Chives bring a delicate onion flavor without sharpness, adding a subtle layer of flavor.
  • Eggs: Eggs help bind the filling together so it slices neatly and holds its shape after baking.
  • Garlic powder, onion powder, oregano: Herbs to add savory notes to the dish.
  • Phyllo Dough: These delicate, paper-thin layers bake up flaky and golden. Let them come to room temp before working to prevent tearing.
  • Olive oil: Brushed between each phyllo layer, olive oil adds richness and helps the dough bake up beautifully crisp and golden brown.

Helpful Tips for the Perfect Spinach, Tomato & Feta Pie

  • Let phyllo dough come to room temperature for 30–45 minutes before using. Cold dough cracks easily, while room temp sheets are more flexible and easier to layer.
  • Keep phyllo covered with a slightly damp towel while working to prevent drying out and tearing.
  • Finely dice the onion so it blends seamlessly into the filling without creating large bites or disrupting texture.
  • Use the oil from sun-dried tomatoes to sauté your aromatics. It adds instant depth and enhances the Mediterranean flavor of the dish.
  • Lightly cook the spinach and press out excess moisture after cooling. This prevents soggy filling and helps the pie hold together.
  • Let the sautéed vegetable mixture cool completely before adding eggs to avoid cooking them prematurely.
  • Be gentle when layering phyllo dough. Small tears are fine—wrinkles actually add to the flakiness and rustic appeal once baked.

Substitutions & Variations

  • Can’t find fresh spinach? Use frozen spinach, but be sure to thaw and squeeze out excess liquid before adding it to the filling.
  • Not a fan of feta cheese? Swap it for ricotta cheese for a milder, creamier filling. Use goat cheese for a tangy, soft texture.
  • No sun-dried tomatoes? Use roasted cherry tomatoes (halved and roasted at 375°F for 15-20 minutes). Try chopped red bell peppers for a slightly sweet, crunchy alternative.
  • Need an egg-free version? Replace eggs with a flaxseed egg for binding.
  • Want a richer flavor? Add ½ cup ricotta or mascarpone cheese to the spinach mixture.

FAQ

How do I store leftovers?
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Can I freeze this pie?
Yes! Wrap tightly with parchment paper and store in the freezer section.

How do I reheat this dish?
Reheat in a preheated oven or airfryer at 350°F for 10-15 minutes to keep the phyllo layers crispy.

Can I add other cheeses?
Absolutely! Try mixing in a little parmesan cheese for extra richness.
