Description
These Spinach & Feta Phyllo Triangles are crisp, flaky, and filled with a savory Mediterranean-inspired spinach mixture. Perfect as a party appetizer, holiday bite, or make-ahead snack, these golden triangles deliver delicious flavor in every crunchy layer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups fresh spinach, chopped (or 1 cup thawed frozen spinach, drained)
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill or parsley
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 8–10 sheets phyllo dough, thawed
- 1/3 cup melted butter or olive oil (for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet and sauté the onion until soft. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted (or warm through if using frozen). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Add feta, dill or parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Cut the phyllo sheets into long strips (about 3 inches wide). Keep unused sheets covered with a damp towel.
- Brush one strip lightly with melted butter/olive oil, place a spoonful of filling at one end, and fold into a triangle shape, continuing until the entire strip is wrapped.
- Repeat with remaining strips and filling. Arrange on a baking sheet and brush the tops with more butter/oil.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
These can be assembled ahead and frozen before baking. Bake directly from frozen, adding 3–4 extra minutes. For extra richness, add a spoonful of ricotta to the filling. Keep phyllo dough covered at all times to prevent drying out.
