Ingredients: |

Filling:
2 tbsp. butter or oil
1 lb. frozen spinach, thawed
3 green onions, sliced
3 tbsp. minced parsley
2 tbsp. chopped fresh dill
1/2 lb. feta cheese, crumbled
3 eggs, lightly beaten
Salt and pepper, to taste
Pastry:
1 lb. commercial filo pastry
1/2 lb. butter, melted
|
Directions:
|
In butter or oil, sauté green onion until soft. Meanwhile, squeeze out excess moisture from spinach and chop by hand or in food processor. Combine green onion with spinach and remaining filling ingredients in bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Lay out the filo sheets, covering them with waxed paper and a damp towel. Take out two sheets at a time and keep the rest covered. Brush melted butter onto top sheet of each pair. Cut each double-sheet crosswise into equal strips, about 2-1/2 inches wide. Place 1 tsp. of the filling 1 inch from the end (nearest you) of each strip. Fold the strips back over the filling so the bottom edge meets the left edge, forming a right angle. Continue folding back at right angles to make a triangular shape. Place on baking sheets and keep covered until all are ready to bake. Bake in a 350°F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden and crisp, turning once.
