ingredients

¹⁄₂ cup chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
¹⁄₂ teaspoon dried oregano
1 ¹⁄₂ cups crumbled feta cheese (6 oz)
1 egg, beaten
12 sheets phyllo dough (14 by 9 inches)
melted butter, for brushing

directions

In a non stick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook onion and garlic until onion is tender. Stir in spinach and oregano; cook over medium-low heat just until spinach is warmed. Drain. Remove from the heat; stir in feta cheese and beaten egg and set aside.
Spray one sheet of phyllo dough with butter flavored cooking spray or
brush with melted butter. (Keep remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to prevent drying.) Add a second sheet, spray or brush and repeat with a third sheet so you have three layers of dough.
Position the phyllo horizontally and cut it into six strips.
Place 1 tablespoon of spinach mixture on lower corner of each strip.
Fold dough over filling, forming a triangle. Continue folding, like a flag, until you come to the end of each strip. Spray with butter flavored cooking spray or brush with butter, making sure all edges are sprayed and sealed. Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling.
Place triangles on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 375
degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack. Serve warm.
To freeze: Place on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze for at
least 1 hour. When frozen, place in an airtight container with parchment or wax paper between layers. Bake the same way as instructed above – no
need to thaw – but add several minutes to time. Can be frozen up to 6
months.

My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) 5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. 4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. 3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
