Spinach Cheese Triangles

By

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 3 Tbsp. crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 tbsp bread crumbs
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 12 sheets phyllo dough (14 in. x 9 in.)
  • Butter-flavored cooking spray

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a large skillet, saute onion in butter until
tender. Stir in spinach; cook over medium-low heat just until spinach is warmed. Transfer to a large bowl; add the cheeses, eggs, bread crumbs, salt and pepper. Set aside.

2. Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a work surface with long side facing you . (Keep remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out.) Spray sheet with butter-flavored spray; cut into four 9-in. x 3-1/2-in. strips.

3. Place 1 Tbsp. filling on lower corner of each strip. Fold dough over filling, forming a triangle. Fold triangle up, then fold triangle over, forming another triangle. Continue folding, like a flag, until you come to the end of the strip.

4. Spritz end of dough with spray and press onto triangle to seal. Turn triangle and spritz top with cooking spray. Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling.

5. Place triangles on baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Bake at 375° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
