This Greek spinach pie is one of the best known recipes in Greek cuisine. It is simple, although managing phyllo pastry may seem challenging the first two or three times. Serve spanakopita warm as a vegetarian main or side dish. Serve it cold as a snack or appetizer.
The Greek New Year's Eve bread is know as Vassilopita in honor of Saint Basil, the saint patron celebrated on the first day of the year. It is really more a brioche, or a cake, than bread.
