How to make Spanakopita
Can I make this ahead?
Absolutely. The filling can be made a day in advance and kept in the fridge. The assembled, un-baked spanakopita can be kept covered in the fridge for up to a day before being baked. Baked spanakopita can be kept at room temperature for up to 6 hours before serving.
