Spanikopita
Spinach Filling
1/2 c Vegetable oil
1 pk Froz. chopped spinach, thawed
1 ts Dill
1 Clove garlic
1 Small tomato, diced
8 oz Feta cheese, crumbled
6 oz Cream cheese, softened
Freshly ground pepper
Phyllo Dough
1/2 lb Frozen Phyllo dough
1 c Butter, melted
PREPARE DOUGH-Thaw according to pkg instructions (may be refrozen). Cut Phyllo dough into 6"x9" strips; cover w/wax paper with a damp towel over all. If dough gets too wet or dry, it will be unworkable-but it's not difficult once you get used to it. PREPARE FILLING-In oil, saute spinach, dill garlic & tomato until tender. Add cheeses & pepper. Mix thoroughly until ingredients are hot; cool slightly. ASSEMBLY-Brush 1 strip of Phyllo dough (it's VERY thin, don't worry if it tears a little) with melted butter. Place ts of filling at 1 end. Fold into small triangles (as if folding a flag). Continue folding triangle over & over to end of Phyllo strip. Brush top w/melted butter. Repeat for each strip. *** Bake in preheated 350 oven for 15-20 min. or until tops are lt. brown. ***May be frozen at this point-freeze 1 layer on cookie sheet, store in freezerproof bag--handy to have!!! I have received many compliments with these! Denise/Syracuse, NY
