Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup finely chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves, sauté for 4-5 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
2. Step 2: Add 10 oz fresh spinach leaves to the skillet and cook, stirring, until wilted and most liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. Step 3: In a mixing bowl, combine the spinach mixture with 1 cup crumbled feta cheese, 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill, 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 2 beaten eggs, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
4. Step 4: Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush lightly with melted butter. Place a second sheet on top and brush again. Cut the layered sheets into 3-inch-wide strips.
5. Step 5: Place about 2 tbsp of the spinach filling at one end of each strip, fold the corner over to form a triangle, then continue folding the strip in triangles until sealed.
6. Step 6: Arrange the triangles on a baking sheet and brush tops with remaining melted butter. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
7. Step 7: Let cool slightly before serving warm.
