Mini Greek Spinach Pies -- WW 2 pts.+ (for 2 pies)

By á-5531

These bite-sized spinach pies are a fun twist on one of my favorite Greek dishes, Spanakopita. These are great appetizers for the Holidays, football games, or anytime you get together with friends and family.

Delicious and simple to make. You can make the filling a day ahead then assemble and bake right before serving.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 cup scallions, finely chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 plum tomatoes, finely chopped (about 1 cup)

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the scallions and garlic and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, spinach, dill, parsley and a pinch salt. Cook about 3 to 5 minutes. Adjust salt and pepper, to taste and cook for another minute. Remove from the heat; mix in feta and parmesan cheese; set aside.

When ready to serve, preheat the oven to 350°F. Fill the fillo cups with spinach filling, place on a baking sheet and bake until hot, about 10 to 15 minutes.
