Cheese? Dough? Cue Ina: How bad can that be? Let's check out Trader Joe's 5 Cheese Greek Spiral!
You'll find this item in the frozen section. A 14-ounce package, serving approximately 3 people, costs $4.49. I do love that, once again, Trader Joe's lists the nutrition information for a serving size and the entire pie. They know the deal.

Trader Joe's 5 Cheese Greek Spiral Review
She (Bridget) says: Crispy layers of filo dough that shatter when cut, a mix of delectable cheeses - SIGN ME UP. Yes, friends, I've found another Trader Joe's freezer staple. This 5 Cheese Greek Spiral is crazy good. The filo bakes up beautifully in thin layers (although I did flip it for serving as the more golden side was on the bottom), and the blend of cheeses is perfectly savory without being overpowering. Serve is as an entree with a side salad, or like we did...as part of a Greek "board" with dolmades, olives, cucumbers, and grapes. Next time Mark has a business dinner, I think I'll have one of these all to myself.
Overall rating: 5 of 5 stars
He (Mark) says: Having this cheesy treat available often could be dangerous. I must say that I've consumed a lot of bread and cheese in my life, but this stands out as something unique. The texture and ratio of bread to cheese is just right. I didn't bother looking up what the five cheeses were by name, and I don't even care. Cheese-lovers will like this. Bread-lovers should like this. Makes for a hearty snack, side-dish, or even a light entree when paired with some greens. This could be a feature on a Mediterranean charcuterie tray. Get two...one to have right away and one for when you have guests.
Overall rating: 5 of 5 stars
Will I buy this again? Y.E.S.
