  • 1 lb frozen chopped spinach thawed and well-drained
  • 8 oz feta crumbled
  • 1 cup ricotta or cream cheese
  • 1 small onion finely chopped and sautéed until soft

  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg salt, and black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Squeeze excess moisture from spinach and combine with feta, ricotta, sautéed onion, egg, and seasonings. Taste and adjust salt.
  2. Lay one phyllo sheet, brush with butter, fold into thirds lengthwise, place a tablespoon of filling at one end, and fold into a triangle. Repeat.
  3. Arrange on a baking sheet; freeze flat until solid, then transfer to a bag for long-term storage.
  4. To bake from frozen: brush with egg wash and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 18–22 minutes until golden.
