Spinach & Feta Filo Pie

Recipe by Alex Hall on InstagramAdded 8 November 2026.

15 minutes to prep, 30 to cook. A hearty tray‑bake that reimagines classic spanakopita with a crunchy scrunched filo crust. Spinach, chickpeas, and tangy feta create a protein‑rich, savory filling, while the flaky pastry adds a satisfying crunch. Perfect for a quick autumn dinner or meal‑prep for the week.
