SPANAKOPITA SPRING ROLLS

SPANOKOPITA
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Heat the olive oil in a saute pan and add the scallions. Cook for 5 minutes or until soft. Meanwhile, squeeze most of the water out of the spinach and place it in a bowl. Add the scallions, dill, eggs, feta, salt, and pepper and mix together.
- Keep the phyllo dough sheets covered with a damp kitchen towel. Unfold 1 sheet of the phyllo dough. Brush the sheet with melted butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Repeat the process by laying a second sheet of phyllo dough over the first sheet, brush it with melted butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs until all 10 sheets have been used. Spoon 3/4 cup of the spinach mixture into a sausage shape along one edge of the phyllo dough. Roll it up. Brush the top with butter and score the roll into 1-inch rounds. Place it on an oiled baking sheet. Repeat until all the pastry and filling have been used.
- Place in the oven and bake for 12 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Serve warm.
Tips:
- Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach, but be sure to thaw and squeeze out all the excess water before using.
- Don't overcook the spinach. You want it to be wilted but still have some bite to it.
- Use a good quality feta cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the spanakopita.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different fillings. You can add other vegetables, such as zucchini, mushrooms, or bell peppers, to the spinach mixture.
- Make sure the egg rolls are sealed tightly before frying. This will prevent the filling from leaking out.
- Serve the spanakopita egg rolls with your favorite dipping sauce. A simple tzatziki sauce is a great option.
Conclusion:
Spanakopita egg rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They're perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can be made ahead of time. With their crispy wrapper and flavorful filling, spanakopita egg rolls are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
