Make these simple, savory Mediterranean Spinach and Feta Cheese Crisps using flaky pastry. They bake quickly, resulting in golden, crunchy bites perfect for appetizers or snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (16 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed very dry
  • 8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 package (1 pound) phyllo dough, thawed according to package directions
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the thoroughly drained spinach, crumbled feta cheese, dill, mint, oregano, and black pepper. Mix well.
  3. Gently brush one sheet of phyllo dough with melted butter. Place a second sheet directly on top and brush it with butter. Repeat this process until you have a stack of four buttered phyllo sheets.
  4. Cut the stacked phyllo sheets lengthwise into three equal strips.
  5. Place about 1 tablespoon of the spinach-feta mixture near one end of a strip. Fold the corner of the strip over the filling to form a triangle shape, similar to folding a flag.
  6. Continue folding the strip over itself, maintaining the triangle shape, until you reach the end of the strip. Brush the finished crisp lightly with butter.
  7. Place the finished crisp on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process with the remaining filling and phyllo dough, creating approximately 18 to 24 crisps.
  8. Brush the tops of all the crisps with the remaining melted butter.
  9. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crisps are golden brown and crisp.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm.

Notes

  • Squeeze as much water as possible from the spinach; excess moisture prevents the crisps from becoming truly crunchy.
  • If you prefer a richer flavor, you can substitute puff pastry sheets for the phyllo dough, cutting them into squares instead of folding triangles.
  • These crisps are excellent served with a side of plain Greek yogurt mixed with lemon zest.
