Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 sheets phyllo dough
- 1 cup feta cheese
- 0.5 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, crumble the feta cheese and combine it with the ricotta cheese. Add the chopped fresh spinach, dill, minced garlic, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined to form the filling.
On a clean surface, lay out one sheet of phyllo dough and brush it lightly with melted butter. Place another sheet on top and brush it again with butter. Repeat until you have 3 layers.
Cut the layered phyllo dough sheet into 3 equal strips, lengthwise.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the cheese filling near the bottom of one strip. Fold the bottom corner over the filling to form a triangle. Continue folding the triangle upwards along the strip, maintaining the triangular shape, until you reach the end of the strip.
Brush the outside of the folded triangle with melted butter and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this process with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the foldovers are golden brown and crispy.
Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with extra dill if desired.
