For an extra crispy crust, brush the triangles with butter a second time halfway through baking. Feel free to experiment with different herbs such as mint or oregano to add your own unique twist. Spanakopita can be prepared ahead of time and frozen before baking. To bake from frozen, add about 15-20 minutes to the baking time.
