Easy Spanakopita
Description
Spanakopita made with phyllo dough, frozen spinach, and 3 types of cheese baked until golden and perfectly crisp for a homemade Greek pastry treat.
Ingredients
•
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
•
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
•
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
•
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
•
1 clove garlic, minced
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
1 (16 ounce) package whole wheat phyllo dough
•
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet. Mix the spinach, feta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and salt in a bowl.
2
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.
3
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.
4
Bake spanakopita triangles in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.
