Yes! You can prepare the filling a day ahead and store it in the refrigerator. Assemble and bake the pie just before serving for best results.
Ricotta or goat cheese are great substitutes. Use the same amount, but expect a milder flavor and creamier texture.
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
Excess moisture in the filling is usually the culprit. Make sure to thoroughly drain and squeeze out water from spinach, and do not overfill the pastry.
