Spanakopita



I am a huge fan of Greek spinach and feta pie (Spanakopita) ever since I first had it.  But it can be a monstrous bear to make.  Surprisingly enough, Cook's Illustrated, the magazine with a reputation for amazing but complicated recipes, has one of the best versions I've ever had...and it didn't take me all day to make it!

I made some minor adjustments, upping the eggs to 3 and reducing the feta cheese to 8 oz (Mike doesn't like it quite so salty), and I also swapped olive oil for the butter that they called for in the phyllo layers.  I mean really!  This isn't baklava!
