Crispy Spanakopita Triangles with Tzatziki Dip

Cold spanakopita re-crisped in the oven until the phyllo shatters, served with cool tzatziki for contrast

You'll need to pick up:

Tzatziki sauce (or sour cream mixed with dill and lemon)Olive oil for brushing

Quick overview:

  1. 1.Remove cold spanakopita from fridge 10 minutes before reheating
  2. 2.Brush phyllo exterior lightly with olive oil
  3. 3.Place on baking sheet and bake at 375°F for 12-15 minutes until phyllo is crispy and golden again
  4. 4.Let cool 2 minutes so filling sets and phyllo shatters cleanly when bitten
  5. 5.Serve with cold tzatziki for dipping—the temperature contrast keeps the phyllo crisp longer
