Spinach Sticks
2 (10-ounce) boxes frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dryÂ
8 ounces feta cheeseÂ
8 ounces cream cheese, softenedÂ
Pepper to tasteÂ
1 package phyllo dough, defrosted (40 sheets, 14 by 9 inches)Â
2/3 C. olive oilÂ
Â
Heat the oven to 375° F. In a food processor fitted with the steel S blade, combine the spinach, feta, and cream cheese. Pulse the mixture until it is smooth. Season with pepper if desired. Transfer the mixture to a ziplock bag and snip a 1/4-inch piece from one corner (you can also use a pastry bag). On a clean work surface, lay out 1 sheet of the phyllo. Brush half of the sheet widthwise with olive oil and fold it in half to make a 7- by 9-inch rectangle. Brush the folded side with oil. Squeeze a thin line of the spinach mixture (approximately 1 T.) along the folded edge. Roll the dough and filling the long way, into a 9-inch-long cylinder. Place the roll on a cookie sheet and brush it with oil. Repeat with the remaining sheets and filling. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden.
