This homemade spanakopita is a breeze to make with phyllo dough and a savory filling made with frozen spinach, garlic, and cheese. This easy recipe makes about 30 golden and crispy spanakopita triangles — perfect for a party!

Ingredients

  • 2 packages frozen chopped spinach , 10 ounce
  • 0.5 cups crumbled feta cheese
  • 0.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 clove garlic , minced
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt
  • 1 package whole wheat phyllo dough , 16 ounce
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter , melted

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet. Mix the spinach, feta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and salt in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Arrange one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean work surface and brush with melted butter. Cover the remaining phyllo dough with a damp towel. Place a second sheet of phyllo on top and brush with butter, then place a third sheet on top. Cut the buttered phyllo lengthwise into four strips.

  3. 3

    Place about 1 tablespoon of the spinach mixture on the bottom of each strip. Take the bottom right corner and fold the dough over the filling to make a triangle. Fold the bottom left corner up to make another triangle. Continue folding until all the dough is folded. Arrange the stuffed triangles, seam-side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush the triangle with butter. Repeat with the remaining phyllo dough and spinach filling.

  4. 4

    Bake spanakopita triangles in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.
