Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 large garlic cloves, minced
2 packages (20 ounces each) baby spinach
1 cup crumbled feta (4 ounces)
1/4 cup golden raisins, chopped
Coarse salt and ground pepper
20 sheets frozen phyllo dough (from an 8-ounce package), thawed and cut to 8 by 12 inches

Steps:

  • In a medium pan, heat oil over medium-high. Add onion and cook until golden, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Return pan to heat. Working in batches, cook spinach, tossing, until wilted, about 1 minute. Drain spinach and let cool. Press out excess moisture, then roughly chop. Add spinach, feta, and raisins to bowl with onion and season filling with salt and pepper. (To store, refrigerate, up to 2 days.)
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Unroll phyllo. Place 1 sheet on a work surface (keep remaining sheets covered with a damp kitchen towel to prevent drying); brush with oil. Lay another sheet on top and brush with oil. Repeat until you have 10 layers of phyllo. Spread half of filling lengthwise down middle of phyllo stack. Roll into a log, brushing the seam with oil before sealing. Brush log with oil. Using a small sharp knife, make 8 diagonal cuts on top. Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling.
  • Place logs, seam side down, on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until deep golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. Cut into slices along slashes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

QUICK & EASY SPINACH AND FETA PHYLLO PIE



Quick & Easy Spinach and Feta Phyllo Pie image

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach. Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor than frozen spinach, and it will also release less water, making for a less soggy filling.
  • Wilt the spinach before using. Wilting the spinach will help to remove excess moisture and make it easier to handle.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. A combination of cheeses, such as feta, Parmesan, and mozzarella, will give your hand pies a more complex flavor.
  • Don't overfill the hand pies. If you overfill them, they will be difficult to seal and may burst open during baking.
  • Bake the hand pies until they are golden brown. This will ensure that the filling is cooked through and the pastry is crispy.
  • Serve the hand pies warm. Spinach phyllo hand pies are best served warm, so they can be enjoyed at their peak flavor.

Conclusion:

Spinach phyllo hand pies are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be made ahead of time and frozen. With their flaky pastry and flavorful filling, spinach phyllo hand pies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
