Ingredients
Instructions
Heat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment. Squeeze all moisture from the thawed spinach until very dry.
In a bowl, mix spinach, feta, egg, salt, nutmeg, and minced onion until evenly combined.
Gently melt butter. Unroll phyllo and cut the stack in half lengthwise to form two 4.5″ x 14″ stacks. Keep covered with a slightly damp towel.
Place one sheet on the work surface and brush lightly with butter. Top with a second sheet, brush, then a third sheet and brush again.
Spoon ~2 heaping tbsp filling at the bottom corner. Fold over diagonally to form a triangle, brush with butter, then continue folding up like a flag to seal. Transfer to the sheet; repeat.
Brush tops with remaining butter. Bake 18–20 minutes until deep golden and crisp. Serve warm.
