Ingredients
- 1 package phyllo dough, thawed
- 10 oz frozen spinach, thawed and drained
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Spinach Filling
In a large bowl, combine the thawed spinach, feta cheese, ricotta cheese, onion, garlic, and chopped dill. Mix well to combine. Add the beaten eggs, salt, and black pepper, and stir until the mixture is well incorporated. This will be the creamy and savory filling for your bites.
Step 2: Prepare the Phyllo Dough
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lay a sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush it lightly with melted butter. Place another sheet on top and brush with butter again. Repeat this process until you have a stack of 4 sheets. Cut the phyllo into 3-inch squares.
Step 3: Fill and Fold the Bites
Place about 1 tablespoon of the spinach filling in the center of each phyllo square. Fold the corners over the filling to form a small parcel. Pinch the edges to seal, and place each parcel seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 4: Bake to Golden Perfection
Brush the tops of the phyllo bites with more melted butter. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown and crispy. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
