Yield 6 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
2 cups crumbled feta cheese (about 12 oz.)
3/4 cup roughly chopped of fresh mint
1/2 cup roughly chopped sun-dried tomato (oil-packed and drained)
1/2 cup pitted and roughly chopped kalamata olive
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons chopped garlic
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
3/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 (1 lb) package phyllo dough, thawed according to package directions (preferably a twin-pack)
1/2 lb melted unsalted butter, plus more as needed for baking

  • Position racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and heat the oven to 375°F In a large bowl, combine the spinach, feta, mint, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, eggs, garlic, lemon juice and zest, pepper, and salt. Mix well.
  • Unroll the phyllo and lay it flat on a clean, dry surface. Cover completely with plastic wrap. Working with one sheet of phyllo at a time, and keeping the rest covered with the plastic wrap to keep it from drying out, place a sheet vertically in front of you. Brush the phyllo with butter and cover with another sheet. Butter the top sheet and cut the phyllo lengthwise into equal 3-inch-wide strips. Spoon 2 teaspoons of filling on the lower end of each strip as shown in the left photo below. Fold up the phyllo strips as you would a flag to create a neat triangle, being careful not to roll too tightly or the triangles will crack when baked. Transfer to a baking sheet and cover with plastic. Repeat with the rest of the phyllo and filling until you run out of filling.
  • Butter two sheet pans. Arrange the phyllo triangles on the prepared baking sheets in a single layer. Brush the tops of the triangles with melted butter and bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes, switching the positions of the pans halfway through baking.
  • Make Ahead Tips. Assembled, unbaked phyllo triangles can be frozen for up to a month. Freeze the triangles on the baking sheet. When frozen, transfer them to an airtight container, setting parchment or plastic wrap between layers if needed, and return to the freezer. Bake as directed above (do not thaw the triangles first); baking time will be 20 to 25 minutes.

SPINACH AND 3 CHEESE PHYLLO TRIANGLES



Spinach and 3 Cheese Phyllo Triangles image

These take a bit of time to prepare but are worth the effort. You can use puff pastry instead of phyllo and make them big for a satisfying lunch or small for appetizers. They also freeze well and can be cooked from frozen. Great to have on hand for unexpected company!

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h35m

Yield 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup chopped parsley
2 tablespoons chopped dill
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
3 scallions, thinly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
300 g frozen chopped spinach
220 g crumbled greek feta
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/3 cup finely shredded parmigiano-reggiano cheese
250 g cream cheese, block softened
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/8 cup vegetable oil
30 sheets frozen phyllo pastry, thawed

Steps:

  • Saute 2-3 min., white and light green parts of scallions and the garlic in the olive oil. Watch closely. You just want it to soften, not to brown.
  • Squeeze the excess water out of the spinach.
  • In a large bowl combine all the ingredients except for the veg. oil, butter and pastry. Mix gently but thoroughly.
  • Combine the veg. oil and butter.
  • Place 1 sheet of phyllo on your work surface (keep the rest covered with a damp tea towel to prevent drying out). Using a pastry brush, lightly brush with the butter mixture. Place a second sheet on top and brush again. Place a third sheet on top and brush again.
  • Cut the layers into 3 equal strips, lengthwise.
  • Place a heaping tablespoon of the filling 1/2 an inch away from the narrow edge nearest you on the first row of strips.
  • Take the bottom left corner and fold it over the filling so the narrow edge meets the side edge, forming a triangle.
  • Keep folding the dough over like you are folding a flag, sort of like flipping the triangle over and over. If there is a bit of phyllo left when you reach the top, just fold it under.
  • Repeat this process until you run out of filling, phyllo or patience!
  • These can be frozen for a week or two. Separate layers with waxed paper.
  • Brush tops lightly with melted butter, place on parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 375' for 15-18 minute (20-25 minute if frozen) or until tops are golden.
  • Leftovers can be reheated at 375' for 8 minute.
