Why you will love making Spinach and Feta Pies.
While Italian cheese pies like torta Pasqualina and Greek spinach pies like spanakopita are relatively popular, this mini spinach roll appetizer recipe is much easier and quicker to serve.
While viral dip recipes are always welcome, this finger food recipe is worth adding to the menu. Quick and easy, full of flavor, spinach and feta are flavor-worthy contenders.
Ingredients:
- frozen uncooked dinner rolls
- chopped onion & minced garlic
- olive oil
- chili powder, salt, ground black pepper
- fresh spinach, chopped
- eggs
- mozzarella cheese and crumbled feta cheese
Frozen Roll Tip: I thawed my rolls overnight in the fridge covered in plastic wrap. I knew that would ensure they were thawed completely.
How to make Mini Spinach Cheese Pies
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and divide the rolls in half. Cover with plastic wrap and thaw overnight in the fridge or let sit for 2 hours at room temperature.
- In a large skillet, combine onion, garlic, oil, chili powder, salt, and pepper and mix well. Heat over medium heat until onions are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add fresh spinach and continue to heat for 4-5 minutes or until wilted and soft. Remove from heat and let stand to cool.
- In a separate bowl, combine cheeses and eggs and mix well. Fold in spinach.
- Drizzle each dough ball with oil, coating on all sides. Use a 1/2 cup measuring cup to press the bottom into the dough, creating a flattened divot-like bowl.
- Divide the spinach mixture evenly into each cavity and bake at 275 for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool spinach cheese pies slightly before serving warm.
