Made this Spanakopita recipe and they are delish! My only problem was that my butter wasn\u2019t melted enough so I used too much on the first two rolls. They were sitting in lots of butter when I took them out of the oven so I transferred them onto paper towels. I will try to freeze the leftovers that I made today and make another batch to serve as an appetizer for Thanksgiving. <\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}}]},"video":{"data":{"status":204},"message":"No shortcode found in recipe"},"rms_legacy_id":"223095","romance_copy_dek":"I love having appetizers on hand in the freezer, especially when the holiday season is fast approaching.
