Classic Spanakopita Triangles with Fresh Spinach

Crispy, flaky layers enveloping a savory spinach and feta filling make Traditional Spanakopita Triangles a delightful addition to any gathering or celebration.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh spinach
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 package phyllo dough 16 ounces
  • 1 egg beaten (for sealing)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Stir in crumbled feta, dill, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  • Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush it lightly with olive oil. Place a second sheet on top and brush it again.
  • Cut the layered phyllo into strips approximately 3 inches wide.
  • Place a tablespoon of the spinach filling at one end of each phyllo strip. Fold the corner over to form a triangle, then continue folding in a triangular shape to seal the filling inside.
  • Place the formed triangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the remaining olive oil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
