New recipes are such fun for me and I loved the idea of Spanakopita bites. Spanakopita is a favorite but would never have the patience to make the real deal. I had no idea that you could buy phyllo cups at the local grocery store but they make simple work of this yummy recipe.
The recipe is simple and the results are great. The bites can be served hot or at room temperature. Either way, you’ll enjoy!

30 frozen phyllo cups (2-15 count packages)

2 garlic cloves, minced

10 oz. frozen spinach, thawed then squeezed dry
6 oz. crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
