Make these easy, crispy phyllo dough triangles filled with spinach and salty feta cheese. They are perfect for appetizers or snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (16 ounces) phyllo dough, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus extra for brushing
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 10 ounces fresh spinach, washed and chopped
  • 8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet. Cook until the spinach wilts and all the liquid evaporates. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the cooled spinach mixture, crumbled feta cheese, beaten egg, and nutmeg. Season with pepper; use salt sparingly as feta is salty. Mix well.
  5. Unroll the thawed phyllo dough. Keep the sheets covered with a slightly damp towel to prevent drying.
  6. Take one sheet of phyllo dough and brush the entire surface lightly with olive oil.
  7. Place a second sheet directly on top of the first. Brush the second sheet lightly with olive oil.
  8. Cut the stacked sheets lengthwise into three equal strips.
  9. Place about 1 tablespoon of the spinach and feta filling near one end of a strip.
  10. Fold the corner of the strip over the filling to form a triangle shape, similar to folding a flag. Continue folding the strip over itself, maintaining the triangle shape, until you reach the end of the dough strip.
  11. Place the finished triangle, seam-side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
  12. Brush the tops of all the crisps lightly with olive oil.
  13. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and crisp. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can brush the tops with melted butter instead of olive oil.
  • If you prefer an air fryer, cook at 350°F (175°C) for 8 to 10 minutes, checking frequently.
  • Serve these savory Greek cheese bites with a side of tzatziki sauce for dipping.
