Yield 2 dozen.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) crumbled feta cheese
12 sheets phyllo dough (14 inches x 9 inches)
Butter-flavored cooking spray

Steps:

Drain. Remove from the heat; stir in feta cheese and set aside. , Spray one sheet of phyllo dough with butter-flavored cooking spray. (Keep remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to prevent drying.) Fold dough in half lengthwise; spray with butter-flavored cooking spray. Cut dough in half lengthwise, forming two strips. , Place 1 tablespoon of spinach mixture on lower corner of each strip. Fold dough over filling, forming a triangle. Continue folding, like a flag, until you come to the end of each strip. Spray with butter-flavored cooking spray, making sure all edges are sprayed and sealed. Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling., Place triangles on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack. Serve warm.,
