Mini Spinach Pies – A Greek Classic in Handheld Form

Spanakopita is one of Greece’s most beloved savory pies, usually baked in large trays with layers of phyllo. This version, however, is made into individual spinach pies with an easy homemade dough. No need for store-bought phyllo — the dough is simple, soft, and stretches easily by hand.

The filling combines fresh spinach, onions, dill, and feta cheese, giving that authentic Mediterranean flavor. Each pie is hand-shaped, brushed with olive oil, and baked until golden.

Why You’ll Love These Homemade Spinach Pies

• Portable & Convenient: Perfect for lunchboxes, picnics, or grab-and-go snacks.
• No Phyllo Required: The homemade dough is quick, soft, and easy to handle.
• Authentic Greek Flavor: Dill, spinach, and feta create the classic taste of spanakopita.

Serving Ideas

These mini spinach pies can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. Pair them with a fresh Greek salad, yogurt dip, or even a bowl of soup for a complete meal. They also make a wonderful party appetizer that guests will love.

Whether you’re a fan of traditional Greek cooking or just looking for an easy savory bake, these individual spinach pies with feta are a must-try recipe.
