Ingredients
- 250 grams fresh spinach
- 150 grams feta cheese
- 100 grams cream cheese
- 10 sheets phyllo pastry sheets
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash the spinach thoroughly, then chop it finely. Heat a skillet over medium heat and sauté the spinach with the minced garlic until wilted. Allow it to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine cooked spinach, feta cheese, cream cheese, salt, pepper, and dill (if using). Mix well until the filling is creamy and evenly combined.
Step 4
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Lay a sheet of phyllo pastry on a clean surface and brush it lightly with melted butter.
Step 5
Fold the phyllo sheet in half lengthwise to form a long strip. Place 1-2 tablespoons of the spinach and cheese filling at one end of the strip, leaving a small border around the edges.
Step 6
Fold the corner of the strip over the filling to form a triangle. Continue folding the triangle along the strip, maintaining the triangle shape, until you reach the end of the strip. Brush the outside with more melted butter to seal.
Step 7
Repeat the process with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling.
Step 8
Place the triangles on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden and crisp.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the triangles cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
