Time 48m

Yield 40

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ cup olive oil
1 bunch green onions, chopped
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed, well drained
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
3 extra large eggs, lightly beaten
7 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
40 sheets frozen phyllo pastry, thawed in refrigerator
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
½ cup plain bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over a medium heat. Stir in green onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile in a large bowl, combine spinach, dill, eggs, feta, salt and pepper. Add reserved green onions, and mix well.
  • Unfold 1 sheet of the phyllo pastry, brush with melted butter, and sprinkle lightly with breadcrumbs. Lay another sheet directly on top of the first sheet; repeat butter and breadcrumb steps. Continue to do this until you have 10 layers.
  • Spoon 3/4 cup of spinach mixture (in a sausage-like shape) along longer edge of the top sheet. Roll it up, place on baking sheet, and brush lightly with butter. Score off 1-inch rounds by marking with a knife for easier cutting later. Repeat process with the remaining pastry sheets. You will have 4 rolls total when finished.
  • Bake in a preheated oven for 12 minutes or until edges are lightly brown. Cut into individual servings where you have marked. Serve immediately.

I'm not a big fan of spinach, but I loved these strudels. The filling was creamy and flavorful.

I thought the strudels were a bit bland. I added some garlic and onion to the filling and they were much better.

The strudels were a little dry for my taste. I think I'll add some more butter to the filling next time.

These spinach strudels were a hit at my last dinner party! The flaky phyllo dough and the creamy spinach filling were a perfect combination. I will definitely be making these again.
