Instructions
Prepare the Filling
Squeeze all excess moisture from the thawed spinach using paper towels then combine with feta cheese, beaten eggs, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix well until fully combined.
Prepare the Phyllo
Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush lightly with melted butter. Place another sheet on top and brush again to create double layered strips.
Form the Triangles
Cut the buttered phyllo sheets into three inch wide strips lengthwise. Place a teaspoon of filling at the bottom of each strip and fold into triangles like a flag all the way up.
Bake Until Golden
Place the triangles on a lined baking sheet, brush tops with melted butter, and bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Kids love these warm out of the oven.
