Ingredients
- 10 Phyllo pastry sheets
- 200 grams Low-fat feta cheese
- 300 grams Fresh spinach
- 2 large Egg whites
- 100 ml Skim milk
- 1 can Olive oil spray
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash and dry the spinach, then roughly chop it.
Step 3
In a large bowl, crumble the low-fat feta cheese and combine it with the chopped spinach, egg whites, salt, black pepper, and freshly chopped dill. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 4
Lay one sheet of phyllo on a clean surface and lightly spray with olive oil spray. Place another sheet on top and spray again. Repeat until you have 5 layers.
Step 5
Spread half of the spinach-feta mixture along one edge of the phyllo stack, leaving some space at the sides.
Step 6
Gently roll the phyllo from the filling side to the other, creating a log shape. Tuck in the edges as you roll.
Step 7
Repeat this process with the remaining filling and phyllo sheets to create a second log.
Step 8
Transfer the rolls to the prepared baking tray and lightly brush the tops with skim milk. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top to garnish.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the phyllo is golden brown and crispy.
Step 10
Allow to cool slightly before cutting each log into slices. Serve warm or at room temperature.
