Spanakopita Pie

This is our twist on Greece’s famous spanakopita. We have replaced the filo pastry with a simple homemade alternative and added tofu for extra protein. When we tested this in the studio, most people said they couldn’t taste the tofu at all. This makes a great lunch, dinner or savoury breakfast and is just as nice served hot from the oven as cold or room temperature. Be sure to squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the frozen spinach to avoid a soggy pie.

Notes

Freezing Instructions: Freeze the pie, unbaked, for up to 3 months. Allow to defrost overnight in the refrigerator, then let sit out on the counter for 30 minutes to lose fridge chill before baking as per the instructions. You may need to add several minutes on to the cook time.
Instead of making your own pastry, feel free to use shop-bought puff pastry or filo pastry.
Frozen spinach is much easier to use than fresh, so we don’t recommend it in this instance.
