Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a bowl, mix 8 oz crumbled feta cheese, 2 cups chopped fresh spinach, 3 sliced green onions, 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill, 1 tsp grated lemon zest, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until well combined.
  3. Step 3: Lay one sheet of phyllo dough flat and brush it lightly with 1/2 tbsp olive oil. Place another sheet on top and brush again with 1/2 tbsp olive oil.
  4. Step 4: Cut the layered phyllo into 3-inch wide strips. Place a heaping tablespoon of the filling at one end of each strip.
  5. Step 5: Fold the phyllo over the filling to form a triangle, then continue folding the strip triangle over triangle until the entire strip is wrapped.
  6. Step 6: Place each triangle on the baking sheet and brush the tops with remaining olive oil.
  7. Step 7: Bake for 20-25 minutes until the phyllo is crisp and golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature.
