A Greek Pantry Blend with a Real Purpose

One thing I’ve been trying to do with Baba’s Bakaliko is build a line that feels like an actual Greek pantry, not just a shelf of random spice jars.

That’s why we have blends that each live in a specific lane:

• Festival Mix for everyday Greek cooking
• OPA! Greek Grill Seasoning for chicken, pork, and the grill
• Greek Rice Pilaf Seasoning for sides and starches
• Tzatziki Mix for dips and sauces
• Yiayia’s Sweet Spice Blend for baking and holiday flavor
• and now Yiayia’s Spanakopita Blend for spinach pie and savory pastries

This One Feels Like Home

Spanakopita is one of those foods that instantly says something. It says family gathering, church festival, holiday table, kitchen counter, foil pan, and somebody’s mother or grandmother telling you not to touch it yet because it’s still hot.

That’s the lane this blend lives in.

Yiayia’s Spanakopita Blend isn’t trying to be trendy or overcomplicated. It’s meant to help you make a proper Greek spinach pie with the flavors that belong there. If you already make spanakopita, it makes the process easier. If you’ve always wanted to make it but haven’t because it felt like too much work, this is a good place to start.

It’s one more way to bring a little bit of the Greek kitchen home.

FAQ: Yiayia’s Spanakopita Blend

What is Yiayia’s Spanakopita Blend?

Yiayia’s Spanakopita Blend is a Greek spinach pie seasoning from Baba’s Bakaliko made for spanakopita, spinach pie, and savory feta pastries. It’s built around dill, parsley, chives, onion powder, garlic powder, Greek oregano, and black pepper.

What do you use spanakopita seasoning for?

This blend is made for traditional spanakopita, spanakopita triangles, spinach and feta hand pies, savory puff pastry bites, and other spinach-and-feta pastry recipes.

Is Yiayia’s Spanakopita Blend only for spanakopita?

Spanakopita is the main use, but it also works in spinach pie filling, feta pastries, stuffed mushrooms, savory brunch bakes, and other spinach-and-feta dishes where you want a Greek herb profile.

Does Yiayia’s Spanakopita Blend contain salt?

No. We kept it salt-free on purpose because feta already adds a lot of salt to spanakopita filling, and we wanted cooks to have more control over the final dish.

What herbs are in Yiayia’s Spanakopita Blend?

The blend is built around dill, parsley, chives, Greek oregano, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

How much spanakopita seasoning should I use in a pie?

For a standard batch of spanakopita filling, start with about 1 to 1½ tablespoons of Yiayia’s Spanakopita Blend, then adjust to taste depending on how much spinach and feta you’re using.

Can I use this seasoning in frozen spinach spanakopita?

Yes. If you’re using frozen spinach, just make sure it’s fully thawed and squeezed dry before mixing it with feta, eggs, onion, and the seasoning blend.

What makes spanakopita taste authentic?

Good spanakopita comes down to the balance of spinach, feta, onion, herbs, and flaky phyllo. Dill is especially important, and that’s one of the reasons it’s the backbone of Yiayia’s Spanakopita Blend.
