I was looking to recreate the many blissful plates of Spanakopita I've had at my favorite Greek restaurant, and this recipe really did the job. I loved that I could use frozen spinach - who wants to deal with fresh? - and that everything came together so quickly. I didn't use the egg, b/c my hubby can't eat them, but it didn't seem to cause a problem with the binding. I will definitely be making this again. Thanks for posting and thanks to your mom for creating it. It was just wonderful.
