Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 sheets Filo pastry sheets
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Feta cheese
- 150 grams Fresh spinach
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 Egg
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Finely chop the onion and garlic. Roughly chop the spinach and dill.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat, drain any excess moisture, and allow to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, crumble the feta cheese. Add the cooled spinach mixture, dill, egg, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave.
Take one filo sheet and place it on a clean surface. Brush it lightly with melted butter, then fold it in half lengthwise to make a long strip.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the filling at one end of the filo strip. Fold the corner of the strip over the filling to create a triangle. Continue folding the strip in a triangular pattern until you reach the end. Repeat with the remaining filo sheets and filling.
Arrange the filo fingers on the prepared baking tray. Lightly brush the tops with more melted butter and, if desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
