Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams fresh spinach
- 150 grams feta cheese
- 100 grams cream cheese
- 10 sheets phyllo pastry sheets
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the spinach thoroughly, then chop it finely. Heat a skillet over medium heat and sauté the spinach with the minced garlic until wilted. Allow it to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine cooked spinach, feta cheese, cream cheese, salt, pepper, and dill (if using). Mix well until the filling is creamy and evenly combined.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Lay a sheet of phyllo pastry on a clean surface and brush it lightly with melted butter.
Fold the phyllo sheet in half lengthwise to form a long strip. Place 1-2 tablespoons of the spinach and cheese filling at one end of the strip, leaving a small border around the edges.
Fold the corner of the strip over the filling to form a triangle. Continue folding the triangle along the strip, maintaining the triangle shape, until you reach the end of the strip. Brush the outside with more melted butter to seal.
Repeat the process with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling.
Place the triangles on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let the triangles cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
