Filling
  • 6 oz Fresh Spinach
  • 2 clove Garlic
  • 8 oz Feta Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream or Cottage Cheese
  • 1 Zest of Lemon
  • 1 pinch Salt and Pepper
  • Pastry
  • 1/2 lb Package of Filo Dough
  • 1/3 cup Greek Olive Oil
Instructions
  1. 1

    Start by cooking down your spinach.  It should take 5-7 minutes on medium heat to wilt the spinach.  Once cool, squeeze as much excess water out of it as you can.

    Place all ingredients for the filling into a food processor and blend until smooth. 

  2. 2

    Slice your filo dough into 3 inch strips. Scoop about 2 teaspoons of filling into the bottom left corner.  Brush olive oil on the rest of the strip of filo and fold like a paper football.  Corner to corner in triangle form.  You can wrap it into a 2nd sheet of filo if you prefer it extra crispy!  Place these onto a parchment lined sheet tray as you make them.  Brush them all with a little more olive oil and then bake them for about 12 minutes at 400.  Enjoy!
