Steps:
- Drain the spinach -- squeeze out all excess liquid.
- Mix with the cheeses and add the egg, lemon peel, a little nutmeg, salt and pepper.
- Place a sheet of phyllo dough on a cutting board and brush with melted butter. With a sharp knife, cut the sheet into 5 pieces, each about 3 inches wide.
- Place a scant 1 T. filling at the bottom of each piece (don't fill it too full or the phyllo won't be able to crisp up over the filling), and roll up so as to form a triangle (think flag folding). Move one side to the other until the whole is rolled up. Contine with remaining phyllo and spinach mixture until all spinach is gone.
- Bake on a buttered cookie sheet at 400 degrees F. for about 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.

Steps:
- Position racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and heat the oven to 375°F In a large bowl, combine the spinach, feta, mint, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, eggs, garlic, lemon juice and zest, pepper, and salt. Mix well.
- Unroll the phyllo and lay it flat on a clean, dry surface. Cover completely with plastic wrap. Working with one sheet of phyllo at a time, and keeping the rest covered with the plastic wrap to keep it from drying out, place a sheet vertically in front of you. Brush the phyllo with butter and cover with another sheet. Butter the top sheet and cut the phyllo lengthwise into equal 3-inch-wide strips. Spoon 2 teaspoons of filling on the lower end of each strip as shown in the left photo below. Fold up the phyllo strips as you would a flag to create a neat triangle, being careful not to roll too tightly or the triangles will crack when baked. Transfer to a baking sheet and cover with plastic. Repeat with the rest of the phyllo and filling until you run out of filling.
- Butter two sheet pans. Arrange the phyllo triangles on the prepared baking sheets in a single layer. Brush the tops of the triangles with melted butter and bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes, switching the positions of the pans halfway through baking.
- Make Ahead Tips. Assembled, unbaked phyllo triangles can be frozen for up to a month. Freeze the triangles on the baking sheet. When frozen, transfer them to an airtight container, setting parchment or plastic wrap between layers if needed, and return to the freezer. Bake as directed above (do not thaw the triangles first); baking time will be 20 to 25 minutes.
Tips:
- Prepare the phyllo dough properly: Thaw the phyllo dough according to the package instructions. Handle it gently to prevent tearing. Keep it covered with a damp cloth or plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out.
- Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has the best flavor and texture. If using frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess water before using.
- Season the spinach filling generously: The spinach filling should be well-seasoned with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. This will help to bring out the flavor of the spinach.
- Fold the phyllo triangles carefully: Fold the phyllo triangles tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out. You can use a fork to crimp the edges of the triangles.
- Bake the phyllo triangles until golden brown: Bake the phyllo triangles in a preheated oven until they are golden brown and crispy. This will help to ensure that the filling is cooked through.
Conclusion:
Spinach phyllo triangles are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or any other occasion. With their flaky crust and flavorful spinach filling, these triangles are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
