SPANAKOPITAKIA (SPINACH AND FETA FILO TRIANGLES)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet and add the onion. Saute for a few minutes until they begin to soften and then add the spinach in batches, stirring until it wilts.
• Remove from heat and transfer the spinach to a colander or sieve. Press down with a wooden spoon to remove any moisture.
• Place the spinach in a large bowl and add the remaining filling ingredients. Mix everything well and then set aside.
• Remove the filo sheets from the package and cut them into thirds width-wise (see photo in blog post above).
• Working with one piece of filo at a time, brush it with butter and then fold it in half. Place a small spoonful of the filling mixture at one end and carefully fold it over to make a triangle shape (see photo instructions in blog post). Continue to fold it over onto itself in a triangle pattern. Once you reach the end, brush the filo with some butter to help seal the triangle. Brush the entire triangle with butter on the outside and place it on a baking sheet. Repeat with all of the remaining filo.
