Print Recipe

A delicious and versatile dish featuring spinach, feta, and herbs wrapped in crispy phyllo dough, perfect for snacks, parties, or appetizers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package of phyllo dough
  • 1 cup of spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup of feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/4 cup of fresh herbs (dill, parsley, mint)
  • 1/2 cup of melted butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a pan over medium heat, sauté the onion and garlic until the onion is translucent.
  3. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted.
  4. In a bowl, mix the sautéed onion, garlic, spinach, crumbled feta, fresh herbs, beaten egg, salt, and pepper.
  5. Unroll the phyllo dough, keeping unused sheets covered with a damp cloth. Lay a sheet flat and brush lightly with melted butter.
  6. Add another sheet of phyllo on top and brush again with butter. Repeat this for three sheets.
  7. Spread a portion of the filling along one edge of the phyllo, keeping it about an inch from the edges.
  8. Roll the phyllo dough away from the filling to create a tight spiral and pinch the edges to seal.
  9. Place the spiral on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush the top with more melted butter.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and flaky.
  11. Allow to cool slightly before slicing for serving.

Notes

Serve with dips like tzatziki or hummus for added flavor. Refrigerate leftovers or freeze for longer storage.
