Spanakopita Dip
Take the work out of labor-intensive spanakopita and turn it into a quick, crowd-pleasing dip with just a stir of the whisk and a slow cooker. Filled with spinach, feta cheese, and eggs, this Mediterranean mainstay is wonderful served as a dip with pita chips. You can also turn the spanakopita dip into a plate of easy-to-eat hors d'oeuvres by serving them in phyllo shells.
