These delightful spinach and cheese phyllo bites are a twist on the classic Greek spinach triangles, offering a burst of flavor in every bite.
Cook the spinach according to the package instructions and drain it thoroughly.
Press the spinach with a spoon to remove as much water as possible for a firmer filling.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, eggs, onion, cream cheese, pepper, and feta cheese until well mixed.
Ensure the cream cheese is softened to make mixing easier.
Refrigerate the filling mixture for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Chilling the mixture makes it easier to handle during assembly.
Cut the phyllo pastry into strips approximately 2 inches wide, keeping the unused sheets covered with a damp cloth.
Work quickly with phyllo pastry to prevent it from drying out.
Brush a strip of phyllo pastry with melted butter and place a teaspoon of the filling at one end.
Use a light hand when brushing the butter to avoid tearing the pastry.
Fold the pastry over the filling repeatedly to form a triangle, similar to folding a flag.
Press gently to seal the edges of the triangle as you fold.
Place the triangles on a buttered baking sheet and brush the tops with more melted butter.
Spacing the triangles evenly ensures even baking.
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes or until golden and crispy.
Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even browning.
Serve the triangles warm and enjoy.
Pair with a dipping sauce like tzatziki for added flavor.
