# Ingredients:
→ Filling
01 -
1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
02 -
1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg, ground
03 -
Salt and pepper as you like
04 -
1/2 teaspoon of dried dill
05 -
2 cups of fresh spinach, finely chopped (or 1 cup of thawed, well-drained frozen spinach)
06 -
1/4 cup creamy ricotta cheese
07 -
1 minced clove of garlic
→ Crisps
08 -
A pack of thawed phyllo dough
09 -
Sesame seeds for topping (only if you'd like)
10 -
1/2 cup of melted butter (or olive oil for brushing)
# Instructions:
01 -
Squeeze all the liquid out of your frozen spinach if you're using it. Then, toss the spinach, feta, ricotta, garlic, dill, nutmeg, and seasonings into a bowl. Stir it all together until it's well mixed.
02 -
Set your oven to heat at 190°C or 375°F. Gently lay one piece of phyllo dough flat, and brush a thin layer of melted butter or oil over it. Add another layer of phyllo and brush again. Keep going until you’ve got three sheets stacked up.
03 -
Slice the stacked phyllo into strips about 3 inches wide. Spoon a little bit of your filling onto the lower end of each strip. Fold it at an angle, starting with one corner, and keep flipping it to form a triangle until it’s all wrapped up. Do the same for the remaining strips.
04 -
Pop your triangles onto a baking tray lined with parchment. Brush the tops with butter or oil, and sprinkle with sesame seeds if you'd like. Bake them for 15-20 minutes until they’re crispy and golden brown.
05 -
Let the little triangles cool slightly before digging in. Pair them with a refreshing Greek salad or some creamy tzatziki for a complete Mediterranean vibe.
# Notes:
01 -
Don’t forget to press out all the extra water from frozen spinach to keep the snacks nice and crisp.
