Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 sheets Phyllo pastry sheets
- 300 grams Frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 200 grams Feta cheese, crumbled
- 100 grams Ricotta cheese
- 3 stalks Spring onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Dill, finely chopped
- 1 large Egg, beaten
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 100 grams Butter, melted
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed and squeezed-dry spinach, crumbled feta cheese, ricotta cheese, chopped spring onions, dill, minced garlic, and beaten egg. Mix until fully combined.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste, ensuring the filling is evenly seasoned.
Lay out one sheet of phyllo pastry on a clean work surface. Lightly brush it with olive oil using a pastry brush, then layer a second sheet of phyllo on top and brush it again with oil.
Cut the stacked phyllo sheets into 3 equal strips lengthwise to form long rectangles.
Place approximately 1 heaping tablespoon of the spinach and cheese filling onto the bottom edge of one strip. Fold the corner of the strip over the filling to form a triangular shape. Continue folding up the strip, maintaining the triangle shape, until you reach the end. Repeat with the remaining strips and filling.
Repeat the layering, cutting, and folding process with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling.
Place the folded rolls on the prepared baking tray. Lightly brush the tops with melted butter to ensure a golden, crisp finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a delicious appetizer or snack.
