Ingredients

• 300 grams fresh spinach
• 100 grams low-fat feta cheese
• 50 grams low-fat ricotta cheese
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 8 sheets phyllo dough sheets
• 0 olive oil spray
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Roughly chop the spinach and place it in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently until the spinach is wilted, about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Transfer the cooked spinach to a colander and press it with a spoon to remove excess moisture.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, combine the spinach, crumbled feta, and ricotta cheese. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Add the beaten egg, dill, parsley, salt, and black pepper into the spinach mixture. Mix thoroughly.

Step 6

On a clean surface, lay out one sheet of phyllo dough. Lightly spray it with olive oil.

Step 7

Place another sheet on top and repeat the spraying process until you have four sheets stacked together.

Step 8

Cut the stacked phyllo sheets lengthwise to create two long strips.

Step 9

Place a spoonful of the spinach-feta mixture at one end of each strip.

Step 10

Fold the phyllo over the filling to form a triangle, and continue folding like a flag to maintain a triangular shape all the way to the end of the strip.

Step 11

Repeat the process with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling.

Step 12

Arrange the stuffed pastries on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray the tops with olive oil.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and crisp.

Step 14

Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low-fat savory spinach and feta stuffed pastries!
