Ingredients

  • 300g fresh baby spinach
  • 200g feta cheese, crumbled
  • 100g ricotta cheese
  • 4 spring onions, finely sliced
  • 3 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 12 sheets phyllo pastry, thawed
  • 100g unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds for topping

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2

Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add spring onions and garlic, sauté for 2 minutes until softened.

3

Add spinach in batches, stirring until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a colander and press firmly to remove excess moisture. Let cool for 10 minutes.

4

In a large bowl, combine the cooled spinach, crumbled feta, ricotta, beaten eggs, dill, mint, parsley, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.

5

Lay one phyllo sheet on a clean surface and brush lightly with melted butter. Place another sheet on top and brush again. Cut lengthwise into 3 equal strips.

6

Place 1 heaped tablespoon of filling at the bottom corner of each strip. Fold the corner over the filling to form a triangle, then continue folding in a triangular pattern until you reach the end of the strip.

7

Place triangles seam-side down on the prepared baking sheets. Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling to make approximately 18 triangles.

8

Brush tops generously with remaining melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

9

Bake for 22-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy, rotating trays halfway through for even browning.

10

Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving warm with a squeeze of fresh lemon if desired.
