Ingredients

• 12 sheets Phyllo pastry sheets
• 300 grams Frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
• 200 grams Feta cheese, crumbled
• 100 grams Ricotta cheese
• 3 stalks Spring onions, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Dill, finely chopped
• 1 large Egg, beaten
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 100 grams Butter, melted
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a large baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed and squeezed-dry spinach, crumbled feta cheese, ricotta cheese, chopped spring onions, dill, minced garlic, and beaten egg. Mix until fully combined.

Step 3

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste, ensuring the filling is evenly seasoned.

Step 4

Lay out one sheet of phyllo pastry on a clean work surface. Lightly brush it with olive oil using a pastry brush, then layer a second sheet of phyllo on top and brush it again with oil.

Step 5

Cut the stacked phyllo sheets into 3 equal strips lengthwise to form long rectangles.

Step 6

Place approximately 1 heaping tablespoon of the spinach and cheese filling onto the bottom edge of one strip. Fold the corner of the strip over the filling to form a triangular shape. Continue folding up the strip, maintaining the triangle shape, until you reach the end. Repeat with the remaining strips and filling.

Step 7

Repeat the layering, cutting, and folding process with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling.

Step 8

Place the folded rolls on the prepared baking tray. Lightly brush the tops with melted butter to ensure a golden, crisp finish.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature as a delicious appetizer or snack.
