Spanakopita

Ingredients:

· 1 Lb. frozen spinach, thawed, squeezed completely dry, chopped

· 1 Lb. feta cheese block, crumbled

· 8 green onions, white and green parts, sliced thin

· 1 T. + 1 tsp. chopped fresh dill

· ¼ C. parsley, chopped

· 4 cloves garlic, minced

· ½ tsp. crushed red pepper (optional)

· 1 package phyllo sheets

· 1 stick butter, melted

· Salt and Pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, combine the spinach, feta, green onions, dill, parsley, garlic, and red pepper (if using); stir well to combine.

2. Lay phyllo dough flat and brush gently with butter. Repeat this with 2 more layers so there are 3 layers total. Cut the phyllo into 6 equal squares.

3. Place a scant tablespoon of the mixture onto the phyllo squares, and fold one end of the square over to form a triangle; press the edges together. Repeat this process with all of the phyllo until the spinach feta mixture is gone.

4. Place the phyllo triangles on a baking sheet and brush the tops lightly with butter. Bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for 35-45 minutes, or until light brown and crispy. * Note, if you notice that the top is getting too brown, flip over and cook on the other side.
