My wife did not receive an invitation this year to Mother’s Day brunch which had been a special yearly event when one of our sons was working up in Orange County. Instead, Saturday was to be a bonding time for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law by getting pedicures. With our kids having other plans this year, I offered to prepare something tasty as compensation for missing shrimp, eggs benedict and mimosas on Sunday. On a whim, she saw this recipe. For anyone familiar with omelet ingredients, sautéing onion, scallions, and spinach, making spanikopita is quick and easy. Quicker, if I had purchased the right pastry earlier in the week. With a side trip to the grocery store, the finished product looked pretty good and tasted even better.
