Description

A crispy and healthy twist on classic Greek spanakopita featuring egg-washed rice paper sheets filled with fresh spinach and feta cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 rice paper sheets.

  • 4 oz baby spinach.

  • 6 oz Greek feta.

  • 3 large eggs.

  • 1/4 cup parmesan.

  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley.

  • 1 tsp dried oregano.

  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds.


Instructions

  • Whisk eggs water salt and pepper to create a savory egg wash.

  • Mix chopped spinach green onions parsley and dried herbs with diced feta.

  • Dip rice paper in the egg wash and overlap three sheets to form a long strip.

  • Add cheese and spinach filling then roll into a log and let soften for 1 minute.

  • Coil the log into a tight spiral sprinkle with sesame seeds and flatten slightly.

  • Air fry at 425F for 15 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

  • Serve warm with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice for a professional finish.

Notes

  • Letting the log rest before coiling prevents the rice paper from cracking during the shaping phase.

  • These spirals are naturally gluten-free and perfect for healthy social gatherings.
