Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare your baking sheet.
  • Wash and dry the spinach, then chop it finely.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, crumbled feta, chopped green onions, dill, beaten egg, salt, and pepper.
  • Unroll the phyllo dough and cover it with a damp towel to prevent drying.
  • Take one sheet of phyllo dough, brush it lightly with olive oil, and fold it in half lengthwise.
  • Spoon a generous amount of filling along one edge of the folded dough.
  • Fold the dough over the filling to form a triangle and continue folding until you reach the end.
