Greek Spanakopita Triangles

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Melt the 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the onion for 4-5 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the spinach and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring, until wilted and any liquid has evaporated; season with the salt and pepper.

Step 4

Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then stir in the crumbled feta cheese and beaten eggs until combined.

Step 5

Melt more butter for brushing. Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a work surface and brush with melted butter, then top with a second sheet and brush again.

Step 6

Cut the layered phyllo lengthwise into strips about 3 inches wide.

Step 7

Place a spoonful of the spinach-feta filling at the base of each strip and fold up in a triangle, flag-fold style, to seal.

Step 8

Arrange the triangles seam-side down on the baking sheet and brush the tops with more melted butter.

Step 9

Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crisp.

Step 10

Let cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.
