Ingredients

Directions

Heat oven to 375 degrees F.

In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Add the pine nuts and cheese and stir to combine. Remove from heat and let cool.

Unfold the phyllo dough. Brush dough with some of the melted butter. Cut into strips about 4 inches wide. Place a damp paper towel or kitchen towel over the dough while assembling the spanakopita so that it doesn't dry out.

Place about 1 tablespoon of the filling on 1 end of the strip leaving about a 1-inch border from the bottom edge. Take 1 corner of the bottom edge and fold it over the filling to make a triangle shaped enclosure. Take the triangle and flip it onto the dough making another triangle fold. Continue to do this until the whole phyllo strip is used and the spanakopita is now formed into a triangular package. Repeat with remaining butter, filling and phyllo, (you may not need all of the phyllo dough).

Place all the spanakopita on a baking sheet and brush the tops with melted butter.

Bake until the pastry is golden brown and slightly flaky, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove and serve immediately.

    BUT!!!!!!
    I had left over spinach feta cheese grilled mix (I didn't use nuts and I made a omelet using nothing more than your recipe and it was Awesome!!!!!!!
    As far as the recipe with the filo dough if you use shredded jack cheese about 1lbs. mixed with one scrambled raw egg and add one bundle finely chopped parsley and follow the prep recipe for this spinach triangle recipe and you wont be able to keep them on the plate!!!! Its an Armenian dish called Pinerly.
    Thanks for the omelet.
    Bon appetite

    I didn't really like these, but I think it is because I do not like cooked spinach. The rest of my family thought they were very good. I thought it was a lot of work with the phyllo dough. I would not make these again because they seem to be too much work. Mine only needed 10 minutes in the oven.
