Time 47m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup olive oil
1 bunch chopped scallions, white and green parts
2 (10-ounce) boxes frozen chopped spinach, defrosted
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
3 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten
7 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
40 sheets (1 box) frozen phyllo dough (such as Pepperidge Farm), defrosted overnight in the refrigerator
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup plain dry breadcrumbs

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.

SPANAKOPITA SPRING ROLLS



Spanakopita Spring Rolls image

I was inspired to turn original spanakopita into a hand-held hors d'oeuvre. I use egg roll wrappers in place of phyllo dough, and now these are the biggest hit among my friends. -Jade Randall, Las Vegas, Nevada

4 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons dill weed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
14 refrigerated egg roll wrappers
Oil for deep-fat frying

Steps:

  • Mix first 6 ingredients. With a corner of an egg roll wrapper facing you, place about 1/3 cup filling just below center of wrapper. (Cover remaining wrappers with a damp paper towel until ready to use.) Fold bottom corner over filling; moisten remaining wrapper edges with water. Fold side corners toward center over filling.

Fry spring rolls, a few at a time, until golden brown, 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally. Drain on paper towels. , Freeze option: Freeze uncooked spring rolls in freezer containers, spacing them so they don't touch and separating the layers with waxed paper.

Tips:

  • Choose the right phyllo dough: Look for phyllo dough that is thin and pliable. If the phyllo dough is too thick, it will be difficult to roll and will not cook evenly.
  • Keep the phyllo dough moist: Phyllo dough can dry out quickly, so it is important to keep it covered with a damp cloth or plastic wrap while you are working with it.
  • Brush the phyllo dough with melted butter: This will help to prevent the phyllo dough from sticking together and will also give it a golden brown color.
  • Don't overfill the spanakopita rolls: If you overfill the rolls, they will be difficult to seal and will likely burst open during baking.
  • Bake the spanakopita rolls until they are golden brown: This will ensure that the phyllo dough is cooked through and that the filling is heated through.

Conclusion:

Spanakopita rolls are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover spinach. With a few simple tips, you can easily make spanakopita rolls at home. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give spanakopita rolls a try. You won't be disappointed!
