Options to increase protein without affecting overall flavour:
1. Add Greek Yogurt or Cottage Cheese
How much? ¼ to ½ cup (about 60–120g) mixed into the spinach and feta filling.
Effect: Adds protein and creaminess, but too much may make the filling runny.
2. Use More Eggs
How many? Add 1 or 2 extra eggs.
Effect: Increases protein and helps bind the filling, but too many eggs can make it dense.
3. Mix in Ricotta Cheese
How much? ½ cup (about 120g) blended with the feta.
Effect: Adds protein and a creamy texture, with a mild flavor.
4. Add Kefalotyri or Parmesan
How much? ¼ cup (about 30g) sprinkled between phyllo layers.
Effect: Adds protein and a savory, cheesy note.
