Spinach Pie
This was pretty good for a low fat meal. I could tell it was low fat because it wasn't as cheesy tasting, but for the calories, it was worth it. The filo crust was wonderful, but I baked it in the oven, so I don't know how it would have turned out in the microwave. Along with a salad, it makes a good light meal.

I liked this spinach pie, but it was not quite cheesy enough for me either. I get it occasionally because it is decent, a good value and right there in the frozen aisle, but it can be made better.
Maybe it's because I have a gas stove, but the filo came out chewy and weird. Crust just wasn't right.

Cheesy would have made it better. TJ's Spanakopitas were the same way for me. Not recommended.
I like this Spinach Pie but you have to be willing to cook the entire package. What I like much more is TJ's Spanokopita product that contains 12 pieces. Each piece has 2g of fat. I can pop as many as I wish in the toaster over and they are ready in 10 minutes.

I didn't think it was too lacking in cheesy-ness. Just right for me, actually. I wasn't a huge fan of the filo though. For the calories, it wasn't bad. One piece (4 total) was about 240(?) calories, and was enough for a light meal. Plenty of calcium, protein, fiber and iron, too...but it's spinach and cheese, so I guess that's expected :P

I agree, just the right amount of cheese - depends on taste.

We thought this was OK.
The crust cooked a little weird but the flavor was good!
I buy them for myself, as my husband isn't a fan of cooked spinach. It makes a great lunch, or light dinner with a cucumber and tomato salad and some fruit. I like the light and crispy filo crust, which comes out the same for me whether cooked in a gas or electric oven. After lifting the corner to vent, I flex the lid a bit so the lid doesn't touch the crust. I follow the directions about removing the lid at the end of the cooking time to brown and crisp the crust some more.

My husband and I thought this was great. We ate it with marinara sauce and parm cheese.
