Steps:
- Melt 1 stick of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook until the onion is softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the artichoke hearts and stir. Pour in the cream and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and let the mixture thicken for 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the cream cheese and Parmesan and mix until smooth. Add the spinach and cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is fully wilted. Set the mixture to cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Melt the remaining 1 stick butter in a small saucepan. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- On a clean work surface, halve and trim the phyllo sheets into 18 rectangular pieces (5 1/3 inches by 9 inches). Layer 3 phyllo sheets, brushing the top of each layer with melted butter. (Cover the remaining phyllo dough with plastic wrap and a damp cloth to keep from drying out.) Place 1/4 cup of the filling about 1 inch from the bottom of the phyllo rectangle. Fold the corner of the phyllo dough over the filling, creating a triangular filled pocket. Continue to fold, keeping the triangle shape, until completely sealed. Place it sealed-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling until you have 6 hand pies.
- Brush the top of the phyllo triangles with the remaining butter and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F
- Wash the spinach leaves that have been stripped from the stalk and roughly chop. Drain in a colander.
- Heat a large nonstick frying pan and add a generous splash of olive oil. Fry the onion, leeks, and fennel until translucent over medium / low heat (about 5 minutes). Add the garlic and cook for a further minute or so.
- Add the chopped spinach in parts, wilting it as you go and until you can fit it all into the pan. add the dill, lemon zest, and juice and cook for about 5 - 8 minutes until soft and cooked through. Allow to cool slightly.
- Once cooled, stir through the cream cheese, grated halloumi, Parmesan, chopped parsley, and mint. Adjust seasoning to your taste adding salt and black pepper as required.
- Remove 4 sheets of phyllo from the roll quickly seal the remainder of the pack and either re-freeze or refrigerate until further use (I just refreeze).
- Roughly divide the mixture into 4 parts. Place the first sheet on a work surface with the thinner side at the bottom and spread one-quarter of the mixture along the bottom in a log shape. Lightly brush the whole top side of the sheet with butter. Roll the log of spinach up and place it in a. lined baking pan.
- Repeat with the remaining 3 sheets of phyllo, joining and twirling it into the pan. Allow a little space between the rolls although it should be snug. It does expand slightly when baked. Brush the tops generously with melted butter and sprinkle white and or black sesame seeds over the top.
- Bake for 40 minutes and until golden.
- Serve on its own or with tzatziki.
QUICK & EASY SPINACH AND FETA PHYLLO PIE
I got this recipe in my email yesterday and made it immediately. We had it for dinner, but it would be wonderful for brunch. Although the original recipe did not call for reduced fat dairy products, using them makes this a nice and healthy dish. I used nonfat cottage cheese and full fat feta. The recipe is from Crisco. Cook time does not include standing time - the recipe suggests allowing it to stand 15 minutes before cutting, but mine was plenty firm after just five.

THREE CHEESE SPINACH PIE
This was passed on to me by a friend who is a celiac sufferer. It uses rice as the crust and is great for brunch or as light summer meal...not sure where she got it but it tastes great. (I sometimes add a touch of nutmeg to the filling for a bit of variety) ETA (7/2/2014): I have seen that folks are having issues with the cooking time, so have adjusted accordingly.

Tips:
- Prep your ingredients beforehand: Dice the onion, grate the cheese, and chop the spinach before you start cooking. This will make the cooking process much smoother.
- Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach will give the pie a more vibrant color and flavor. If you only have frozen spinach on hand, be sure to thaw and squeeze out all the excess water before using.
- Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become limp and mushy.
- Use a variety of cheeses: The three cheeses in this recipe (feta, mozzarella, and Parmesan) all have different flavors and textures, which creates a delicious and complex filling.
- Don't overfill the pie: The phyllo dough is very delicate, so be careful not to overfill the pie. Otherwise, it may burst open during baking.
- Bake the pie in a hot oven: A hot oven will help the phyllo dough to puff up and become crispy.
Conclusion:
This spinach and three-cheese phyllo pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's great as an appetizer, main course, or even a snack. The combination of spinach, cheese, and phyllo dough is a classic combination that is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
