SPINACH, FETA, AND PHYLLO PURSES

Categories     Cheese     Onion     Bake     Cocktail Party     Feta     Spinach     Shower     Engagement Party     Phyllo/Puff Pastry Dough     Gourmet

Yield Makes 30 hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups finely chopped onion
1/2 cup olive oil
two 10-ounce packages frozen spinach, cooked, drained, squeezed dry by handfulls, and chopped
2 cups grated Feta (about 1/2 pound)
2 teaspoons dried dill
four 16- x 12-inch sheets of phyllo, stacked between 2 sheets of wax paper and covered with a dampened kitchen towel

Steps:

  • In a heavy skillet cook the onion in 1/4 cup of the oil over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until it is golden, add the spinach, and cook the mixture, stirring, until it is combined well. Remove the skillet from the heat, stir in the Feta and the dill, and let the filling cool.
  • Lay 1 sheet of the phyllo with a long side facing you on a work surface and brush it lightly with some of the remaining 1/4 cup oil. Lay another sheet and brush it lightly with some of the remaining oil. With a sharp knife cut the sheets lengthwise into thirds and cut each length crosswise into fifths, making 15 sections, each approximately 4 x 3 1/2 inches. Put a level teaspoon of the filling in the center of each phyllo section. Working with 1 section at a time gather the corners of th phyllo over the filling and twist the phyllo gently. Transfer the pastries to an oiled jelly-roll pan and make pastries with the remaining phyllo, oil, and filling, in the same manner. Bake the pastries in the lower third of a preheated 375°F. oven for 25 minutes, or until they are golden. The pastries may be baked 1 day in advance and kept covered loosely with plastic wrap and chilled. Reheat the pastries in a 375°F. oven for 10 minutes, or until they are heated through.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 40m

Yield 24 sausage rolls

Number Of Ingredients 12

200 g feta cheese, crumbled
1 small onion, finely chopped
200 g frozen spinach, defrosted and squeezed dry
1/2 cup dried breadcrumbs
2 lightly beaten eggs
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
1 tablespoon chopped of fresh mint
1/2 teaspoon dried dill
salt and pepper (lots of pepper)
2 sheets puff pastry, defrosted and cut in half
2 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200c.
  • Mix all ingredients together (except pastry sheets).
  • Lay pastry sheets (with plastic attached) out on your counter.
  • Fill a large piping bag (no nozzle) with the mix and squeeze out a long line of mix down the long edge of the pastry-about 1/2 an inch in from that edge.
  • No piping bag? Divide mix in 4 and spoon this along the long edge.
  • Roll up, peeling the plastic away as you roll.
  • Seal the inner edge with a little water.
  • Cut each of these rolls into three, then cut each smaller roll ALMOST through in the middle (leave the bottom intact). When they are cooked, I cut them right through to make a bite sized roll, but cooking them this way keeps them moister.
  • Place on a baking tray, brush each with a little milk, then cook in pre heated oven for about 20 minutes or until golden brown on top and cooked through.

QUICK & EASY SPINACH AND FETA PHYLLO PIE



Quick & Easy Spinach and Feta Phyllo Pie image

I got this recipe in my email yesterday and made it immediately. We had it for dinner, but it would be wonderful for brunch. Although the original recipe did not call for reduced fat dairy products, using them makes this a nice and healthy dish. I used nonfat cottage cheese and full fat feta. The recipe is from Crisco. Cook time does not include standing time - the recipe suggests allowing it to stand 15 minutes before cutting, but mine was plenty firm after just five.

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and texture than frozen spinach. If you're using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess water before using.
  • Don't overcook the spinach: Overcooked spinach will be mushy and lose its flavor. Cook it just until it's wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Use a good quality feta cheese: Feta cheese is the key ingredient in these rolls, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. Look for a feta cheese that is firm and crumbly, with a tangy, salty flavor.
  • Don't overfill the rolls: If you overfill the rolls, they will be difficult to fold and will likely burst open during baking. Fill them just enough so that the filling is evenly distributed.
  • Bake the rolls until they are golden brown: The rolls should be baked until they are golden brown and crispy. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a delicious flavor.

Conclusion:

Spinach feta phyllo rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be served as a main course with a side salad. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your spinach feta phyllo rolls are perfect every time.
