Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté 10 oz chopped fresh spinach with 1/4 tsp salt until wilted and excess moisture evaporates, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the cooled spinach, 1 cup crumbled feta cheese, 3 thinly sliced green onions, 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.
  3. Step 3: Lay one 8x12-inch phyllo dough sheet on a clean surface and brush with 1 tbsp melted butter. Place another sheet on top and brush with another tablespoon of butter.
  4. Step 4: Cut the layered phyllo sheets into 4 equal strips. Spoon about 2 tbsp of the spinach-feta filling at one end of each strip, then fold the dough over the filling diagonally to form a triangular pocket. Continue folding the strip in triangles until fully enclosed.
  5. Step 5: Place the filled wraps seam-side down on a baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining 1 tbsp melted butter.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 20-25 minutes until the phyllo is golden brown and crisp. Serve warm.
