Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a medium bowl, combine 10 oz thawed and well-drained spinach, 1 cup crumbled feta cheese, 3 finely chopped green onions, 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill, 2 beaten eggs, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/8 tsp freshly grated nutmeg. Mix until evenly incorporated.
  2. Step 2: Lay 1 phyllo sheet (about 9x14 inches) on a clean surface and brush lightly with olive oil using about 1 tbsp per sheet. Layer 4 sheets on top of each other brushing each with olive oil.
  3. Step 3: Cut the layered phyllo into 12 equal squares. Gently press each square into a greased mini muffin tin to form cups.
  4. Step 4: Spoon about 1 tbsp of the spinach and feta mixture into each phyllo cup.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 18-20 minutes until the phyllo is golden and crisp and the filling is set. Remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.
