Expert Tips

While assembling the pie, put a slightly damp (almost dry)  paper towel over the phyllo dough. This will keep the dough from cracking while assembling.

Expert Tips

When heating up your Spinach pie leftovers, do so in the oven. It will keep the top crispy as opposed to making it soggy in the microwave.
