Spanikopita


Filling:

1 8 oz package of frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1 egg
1/2 cup red onions, finely chopped
1-2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp dried dill

Mix everything together well

Heat oven to 375*
Use thawed sheets of filo pastry (4). Brush olive oil on each sheet of filo dough. Cut each strip of filo into 3's (using knife edge). Put a spoonful of spinach mix at the end of each long strip and fold into triangles. Place each triangle on a baking sheet. Brush olive oil on top of each triange. Bake until golden brown. (about 15 minutes). Makes 12 triangles. *update, I started using a melted butter/olive oil mix to brush on the filo instead of just olive oil and it really makes what was good even better!
