Spanikopita
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place parchment on 2 baking sheets.
-
Heat olive oil in skillet. Add onion and cook until soft. Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in spinach until just wilted. Remove from heat and cool. Add in cheeses and seasonings.
-
Arrange one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean work surface and brush with melted butter. Cover the remaining phyllo dough with a damp towel. Place a second sheet of phyllo on top and brush with butter, then place a third sheet on top. Cut the buttered phyllo lengthwise into four strips.
-
Place about 1 tablespoon of the spinach mixture on the bottom of each strip. Take the bottom right corner and fold the dough over the filling to make a triangle. Fold the bottom left corner up to make another triangle. Continue folding until all the dough is folded. Arrange the stuffed triangles, seam-side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush the triangle with butter. Repeat with the remaining phyllo dough and spinach filling.
-
Bake spanakopita triangles in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.
