Spinach & Cheese Triangles

Ingredients

• Phyllo pastry sheets (Amount not specified; use enough sheets to make the desired number of triangles.)
• 1 cup Baby spinach
• 0.5 cup Mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Feta cheese
• 0.333 tsp Salt (Add according to taste because the feta and mozzarella are already salty.)
• 1 tbsp Black pepper
• 1 tbsp Red chili flakes
• 3 tbsp Unsalted butter (Melt before brushing the phyllo and finished triangles.)
• 1 Egg
• 1 Onion (Diced.)
• Cooking oil (A small amount for sautéing; quantity not specified.)
• Sesame seeds (For garnish; quantity not specified.)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. 2

   Heat some cooking oil in a pan. Add the diced onion and baby spinach, then sauté until the onion and spinach are softened.

3. 3

   Transfer the sautéed onion and spinach to a bowl.

4. 4

   Add the feta cheese, mozzarella cheese, egg, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes to the bowl.

5. 5

   Mix everything together thoroughly to make the spinach-and-cheese filling.

6. 6

   Melt the unsalted butter. Lay out a phyllo pastry sheet and brush it with melted butter.

7. 7

   Place about 1 tablespoon of the spinach-and-cheese filling at the bottom of the phyllo sheet.

8. 8

   Fold and roll the phyllo around the filling in a flag-style triangle, as shown in the video. Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling.

9. 9

   Arrange the filled triangles for baking. Brush their tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

10. 10

    Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown.
