Skinny Spanakopitakia

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds fresh spinach, roughly chopped if leaves are on the
    larger side or 2 pounds baby spinach
  • 16 ounce package of phyllo dough
  • 2 eggs
  • Half a bunch of spring onions(scallions),diced
  • 2⁄3 cup Fancy Peasant GEVOO to use inside and out
  • 8-10 ounces feta cheese
  • A generous pinch of Fancy Peasant Mountain Oregano Salts and pepper
  • A bunch of fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped well
  • A bunch of fresh dill, chopped well
  • Optional: yolk of one egg (to brush on triangles at the end)

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F
  2. Add Fancy Peasant Extra Virgin Olive Oil to a large sauce pan on medium heat.
  3. Sauté spring onion until soft and add spinach (in batches) until it
    begins to wilt - remove from heat.
  4. Drain and set aside for a few minutes for spinach mixture to cool and
    remove any access water.
  5. Add 2 eggs, crumbled feta, fresh herbs into the cooled spinach mixture
    along with salt and pepper.
  6. Take a phyllo sheet and spread it out (keep others covered with a
    towel). Drizzle sheet with Fancy Peasant Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Cut vertically into 4 strips (long-way - refer to photo below).
  7. Add 1 teaspoon of filling at the bottom of each strip. Fold once away
    from you, then continue folding diagonally into small triangles (see
    photos below). Continue until entire sheet is folded. Repeat for each
    sheet of phyllo, until the mixture is done.
  8. Lay triangles on a baking sheet. Optional: Whisk 1 egg yolk in a bowl,
    and brush on the tops of each triangle.
  9. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
