Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tbsp olive oil. Add 12 oz chopped fresh spinach and sauté for 3-4 minutes until wilted and most moisture evaporates. Remove from heat and let cool.
  2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled spinach, 8 oz crumbled feta cheese, 3 finely sliced green onions, 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill, 1 tsp lemon zest, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Mix gently.
  3. Step 3: Preheat oven to 350°F. Lay one phyllo sheet on a clean surface and brush lightly with 1 tbsp olive oil. Place a second sheet on top and brush with 1 tbsp olive oil.
  4. Step 4: Cut the layered phyllo sheets into 3-inch wide strips. Place about 2 tbsp filling at one end of a strip, then fold the corner over the filling to form a triangle. Continue folding the triangle along the strip length until sealed.
  5. Step 5: Place triangles on a baking sheet and brush tops with remaining olive oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and crisp. Serve warm.
