Savory Spanakopita Cookies Recipe: How Much You Love Them May Surprise You Greek Recipes Appetizers Snacks Lunch Side Dishes Vegetarian Mediterranean Diet Recipes

I'm slightly obsessed with spinach and feta and all the different ways to combine them. This savory spanakopita cookie recipe is by far the most unusual I've tried, but so savory and tasty and easy to pack for lunches or snacks on the go! I've eaten these tender spinach and feta cookies for lunch the past three days, and it was such an easy thing to grab, go then eat!

To make these savory Greek-inspired cookies, you will need to gather the following ingredients: an egg, olive oil, Greek yogurt, fresh baby spinach, fresh dill, green onions, feta cheese (feta may be the healthiest cheese in the world), mozzarella cheese and self-rising flour. The cookies mix up quickly and bake up in about 20 minutes.

These savory cookies are perfect as a quick snack, a light lunch, a side dish with dinner, as an appetizer or as part of a charcuterie board. So easy and delicious!
