My mother was greek and we had spanakopita often but called it pita for short. I'm proud of mine and I use olive oil between layers of phyllo dough instead of butter and I can't taste the difference. I do it in a pizza pan and like it thin. Sometimes I just roll it into a couple sheets of phyllo like an egg roll. You got me hungry for it again.
