Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tbsp olive oil and 3 sliced green onions. Sauté for 2 minutes until softened.
  2. Step 2: Add 10 oz chopped fresh spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until wilted and most moisture evaporates, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. Step 3: In a bowl, combine the cooked spinach mixture with 6 oz crumbled feta cheese, 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill, 1 tsp lemon zest, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp salt. Mix thoroughly.
  4. Step 4: Lay one filo sheet flat and brush lightly with 1 tbsp olive oil. Cut the sheet into 3 strips lengthwise. Place about 2 tbsp of the filling at one end of a strip, then fold the corner over to form a triangle. Continue folding the strip over itself in triangles until sealed.
  5. Step 5: Place the filled triangles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush the tops with remaining olive oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Cool slightly before serving.
