Spanakopita

Well, the fillo dough had been sitting in the fridge for a few weeks and I needed to get rid of the spinach in the freezer, so spanakopita seemed like the logical concoction.

I improvised the recipe and it went something like this:
- sauté half an onion, chopped in olive oil, lightly salted until softened
- stir in a 16 ounce bag of frozen spinach, which has been thawed and drained of any excess water
- Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg
- stir in about two thirds of a cup of cottage cheese and about two thirds of a cup of grated Gruyere cheese (note that I'm deviating widely from the more traditional feta and ricotta cheeses)
- Layout 3 sheets of the dough on top of each other, with a layer of olive oil sprayed between each
- cut the dough into 2.5 inch strips
- Put a blob of the spinach, cheese mixture at the end of each strip and start folding into the triangle shape; brush/spray the top of each triangle with olive oil
- bake at about 375°F for 10 or 12 minutes or until lightly browned

Review:
I think our dough was a bit stale. Otherwise, delicious!
