Ingredients
  

  • - 3 tbsp olive oil;
  • - 2 red onions chopped;
  • - 2 garlic clove minced;
  • - 2 10 oz packages frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed;
  • - 2 tbsp dill chopped;
  • - 2 tbsp all-purpose flour;
  • - 8 oz feta cheese crumbled;
  • - 3 large eggs lightly beaten;
  • - salt to taste;
  • - pepper to taste;
  • - 1 24 oz package phyllo dough, thawed;
  • - 1 cup butter melted.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped red onions and cook until translucent. Then, add garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant. Stir in spinach and flour. Season with salt and pepper to your taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated and been absorbed.
  • Remove from the heat. Let the spinach filling cool to room temperature. Then, add feta cheese, beaten eggs, and dill.
  • Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean, dry surface. Cut the dough into strips 2.5 inches wide.
  • Place two phyllo dough strips on a dry surface. Cover the rest of the dough with a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.
  • Brush the first strip with melted butter. Then, top it with the second one. Brush the top strip with melted butter as well. Finally, add a tablespoon of filling. Fold the dough into the triangles. Transfer to a prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining phyllo dough and filling until all triangles are made. Brush them with melted butter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if needed.
  • Bake for 30-50 minutes or until golden. Serve with sour cream dip, hummus, and olives.
