Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
- 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 package (16 sheets) phyllo dough, thawed
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, combine the chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, oregano, and black pepper. Mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Lay one sheet of phyllo dough flat on a clean surface. Brush the entire surface lightly with melted butter.
- Place a second sheet of phyllo dough directly on top of the first sheet. Brush this second sheet lightly with butter.
- Place about 1 tablespoon of the spinach and feta mixture in a corner of the layered phyllo sheets.
- Fold the corner over the filling diagonally to form a triangle shape. Continue folding the triangle, like folding a flag, until you reach the end of the dough strip.
- Place the finished crisp on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this process with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling until all crisps are formed.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the crisps are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- If you do not have phyllo dough, you can use small round wonton wrappers instead; layer two wrappers, brush with butter, fill, and fold into a turnover shape.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the filling mixture.
- Make sure your phyllo dough is completely thawed before starting to prevent tearing.
