1/2 cup chopped green onions 4 ounces Feta cheese 3 ounces cottage cheese |
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped 1/3 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg 8 sheets phyllo dough 4 ounces melted butter |
Here's how to make it:
Bring water to a boil. Add spinach. Cover and boil until spinach is completely defrosted. Place in a colander and drain until barely moist, or squeeze in a clean kitchen towel to remove most of the moisture. Set aside.
Heat oil in a pan over medium high heat. Add green onions and garlic and saute until onion is soft. Add the spinach, Feta, cottage cheese, dill, pepper, salt and nutmeg. Stir to combine and remove from the heat to cool.
Place one phyllo sheet on work surface. (Cover the remaining phyllo dough with a damp towel to keep it from drying out.) Lightly coat sheet with melted butter. Place another phyllo sheet on top of that and butter it as well. Repeat with a third layer.
Use a pizza cutter and cut dough into 3 four-inch wide strips. Place a teaspoon of spinach filling on the bottom part of the dough and fold over into a triangle, continuing the folding to the top of the dough. Place on a buttered sheet pan.
Brush the phyllo triangles with melted butter and bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
