To prepare, simply place the frozen spanakopita on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven according to package directions until the crust is golden brown and crisp, and the filling is heated through. They are best served warm. You can arrange them on a platter for serving at gatherings. For a slightly softer crust, you can also microwave them, though baking is recommended for optimal texture.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike homemade spanakopita, these frozen versions offer significant time savings. They are typically made with a consistent blend of ingredients, ensuring a predictable flavor profile. The pastry crust may differ in flakiness and texture compared to artisanal or homemade versions, often being more uniformly crisp.

How to keep the rest
Keep the remaining spanakopita frozen in their original packaging. Ensure the package is sealed tightly to prevent freezer burn. Store in the freezer until ready to bake. Do not refreeze after thawing.
