Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  2. Step 2: Add 5 oz fresh spinach leaves and cook, stirring frequently, until wilted and most moisture evaporates, about 3-4 minutes. Season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Step 3: In a bowl, combine the sautéed spinach with 6 oz goat cheese and 1 tbsp honey, mixing gently until creamy and evenly blended.
  4. Step 4: Preheat oven to 375°F. Lay out one sheet of phyllo dough and brush it lightly with 1/2 tbsp melted unsalted butter. Place a second sheet on top and brush again.
  5. Step 5: Cut the layered phyllo sheets into 3-inch wide strips. Place about 1 tbsp of the goat cheese and spinach filling at one end of each strip.
  6. Step 6: Fold the phyllo strip over the filling diagonally to form a triangle, continuing to fold the triangle along the strip until fully enclosed.
  7. Step 7: Place each triangle seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining melted butter.
  8. Step 8: Bake for 15-18 minutes until the phyllo is golden and crisp. Serve warm or at room temperature.
