Gluten free Spanakopita! Growing up, my yiayia always made spanakopita for special occasions and doing this with my daughters is so special!

Here’s what you do for the filling:
•in a bowl, mix with 3/4 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan or Romano, and 1 cup crumbled feta, and 1 egg then stir to combine - set aside
•thaw and drain 1 16 oz package of chopped spinach, using a towel to help press out the juices
•sauté 1/2 onion until soft. Add in thawed spinach and 1 cup fresh dill along with 1/2 cup fresh dill
•sauté for about 5 minutes
•after cooling, add spinach mix to cheese mix

To prepare:
•thaw 4 gluten free pie crusts
-per each crust-
•divide each pie dough into 2 balls
•roll out one ball super thin between parchment
•lift one side of parchment to expose dough
•top with 1/4 of the filling
•roll the other ball super thin the same way
•remove one side of parchment, flip it over and seal it onto other side
•cut off excess dough
•make slits in the top

Notes:
