I Just Made the Greek Torta for the First Time

In summary, the Greek Torta requires phyllo dough, feta cheese, spinach, eggs, and butter as the main ingredients, along with herbs and spices for flavor. Substitutions can be made for dietary restrictions. Proper layering of the phyllo dough involves brushing each layer with melted butter and overlapping the sheets. The torta should be baked at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes. It can also be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking.

OMG!!! It is sooooooooooo good!!

I wanna make it for Christmas, and figured I would make a trial batch of it today to test it out.

My BF was even impressed and he's a professional chef
 
It's addictive!

And, as Janetupnorth discovered and shared with us, the leftovers are wonderful heated up (you can thin it out with a little milk or cream) and tossed with pasta!
 
I think someone told me that on here Becky do I can't take credit for that one, but yes, good leftovers!My discovery was the Rosemary and Olive Oil triscuits with it! :)

Yum! That sounds good!!
 
Also good with it are the Panetini (bruschetta chips) and focaccia chips. I've found these in the area with pitas and pita chips at the grocery store.

I like to use the Garlic & Herb Town House Toppers - they add more of a zing to the already AWESOME torta!!!!
 
Is this spread like the Mediterranean Cheese Spread?

2. Can I substitute any of the ingredients in the Greek Torta?

3. How do I properly layer the phyllo dough in the Greek Torta?

4. What temperature should I bake the Greek Torta at?

The Greek Torta should be baked at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set. You can also use a toothpick to check if the torta is fully cooked by inserting it into the center and making sure it comes out clean.

5. Can I make the Greek Torta ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the Greek Torta ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. This is a great option for those who want to save time on the day of serving or for meal prepping. Just make sure to cover the torta with plastic wrap before refrigerating to prevent it from drying out.
