Spinach Phyllo Triangles

Spinach Phyllo Triangles

 

10oz. Frozen Chopped Spinach

1/2 C. Chopped Onion

1 Clove Garlic, chopped

6oz. Feta Cheese, crumbled

1/2 tsp. Dried Oregano, crushed

12 Sheets Phyllo Dough

1/2 C. Butter, melted

 

For filling cook spinach, onion, and garlic according to spinach package directions.  Drain well in sieve.  Press the spinach with the back of a spoon to release excess moisture.  Combine spinach, Feta, and oregano.  Lightly brush 1 sheet of phyllo dough with some of the melted butter.  Place another sheet on top, brush with butter again.  Place a third sheet and repeat with the butter.  Cover remaining phyllo with damp cloth to prevent drying.  Cut the stack of phyllo dough into 6 lengthwise strips.  For each triangle, spoon about 1 tsp. of the spinach mixture about 1 inch from the end of the strip. Fold end over filling at 45 degree angle.  Continue folding into triangle shape that encases filling.  Continue with rest of phyllo dough and filling.  Place triangles on baking sheet.  Brush with butter and bake in 375F oven for 18-22 minutes, or until golden.  Serve warm.
