Greek Style Spinach Pie
6 cups chopped fresh spinach (10 oz. chopped frozen)
2 packages (3 oz ea) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Dash black pepper
8 ounces frozen filo or phyllo dough (about 15 sheets), thawed
1/2 cup butter, melted
Method:
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Cook chopped spinach in large covered saucepan with a small amount of water until tender. Drain well and cool. Combine spinach with cream cheese, feta, Parmesan cheese and black pepper. Stir to blend.
Carefully unroll filo dough, cut in 2 1/2 - 3 inches wide strips. Work with a few sheets at a time. Place remaining dough in a bowl and cover tightly or place a damp cloth over bowl to prevent dough from drying out (be careful not to let damp cloth touch the dough). Lightly brush each piece of filo with melted butter. Use two pieces of filo for each triangle. Place 1 teaspoon filling at one end of strip. Fold one corner of the filo diagonally over filling; continue folding as if folding a flag. Continue with remaining filo and filling. Place appetizers on baking sheet so they do not touch. Bake at 3500 F for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
