Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 oz Frozen spinach, thawed and drained
- 8 oz Feta cheese, crumbled
- 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1 Egg, lightly beaten
- 2 tbsp Fresh dill, chopped
- 3 Green onions, chopped
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 package Phyllo dough sheets, thawed
- 0.5 cup Butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained spinach, feta cheese, cream cheese, egg, dill, green onions, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean work surface. Keep the rest of the phyllo dough covered with a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.
Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the phyllo sheet with melted butter. Place another phyllo sheet on top and brush it with butter as well.
Cut the stacked phyllo sheets into 3-inch wide strips using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
Place 1 tablespoon of the spinach filling at one end of a strip. Fold the corner over the filling to form a triangle. Continue folding the strip, maintaining the triangle shape, until you reach the end of the strip. Brush the outside of the triangle with melted butter.
Repeat with the remaining phyllo dough and filling until all ingredients are used.
Arrange the triangles on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the triangles cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
