Bake these simple crisps featuring spinach, salty feta cheese, and Mediterranean herbs until they are golden brown and crisp.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 10 ounces fresh spinach, chopped
  • 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 package (16 ounces) phyllo dough, thawed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • Pinch of sea salt for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease two baking sheets.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet. Cook until all the moisture has evaporated, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the cooled spinach mixture, crumbled feta cheese, beaten egg, dill, oregano, and black pepper. Mix well.
  5. Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean, dry surface. Brush the entire surface lightly with melted butter.
  6. Place another sheet of phyllo dough directly on top of the first. Brush this sheet with butter. Repeat this process until you have a stack of 4 buttered phyllo sheets.
  7. Cut the stacked phyllo sheets into 12 equal rectangles.
  8. Place about 1 tablespoon of the spinach and feta filling near one end of a rectangle. Fold the side edges inward over the filling, then roll up tightly like a small spring roll or cigar.
  9. Place the finished crisp seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top lightly with melted butter.
  10. Repeat the layering, cutting, and filling process with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling to make 24 crisps total.
  11. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crisps are golden brown and crisp. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt immediately after removing them from the oven.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh dill with 1 teaspoon of dried dill if fresh is not available.
  • For a richer flavor, use good quality Greek feta cheese.
  • These crisps are best served warm shortly after baking.
