Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, combine 10 oz thawed and thoroughly drained spinach, 7 oz crumbled feta cheese, 3 finely chopped scallions, 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.
  2. Step 2: Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush lightly with 1 tbsp olive oil. Place a second sheet on top and brush again. Cut the layered sheets into 3-inch wide strips.
  3. Step 3: Place about 2 tbsp of the spinach and feta filling at one end of each strip. Fold the corner over the filling to form a triangle, then continue folding along the strip maintaining the triangle shape until fully wrapped.
  4. Step 4: Place the triangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush the tops with remaining olive oil.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 20-25 minutes until the phyllo is crisp and golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
