Ingredients
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic (about 6 cloves)
2 tablespoons minced shallot
2 cups diced chanterelle mushrooms (about 4 ounces)
4 cups baby spinach
8 ounces goat cheese
Kosher salt
8 sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed
3 sticks unsalted butter, melted
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and heat. Add the garlic, shallot and mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until almost tender, about 4 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until very tender, about 6 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and fold in the goat cheese; season with salt and let cool.
- Lay out 1 phyllo sheet, butter liberally and fold in half to form a rectangle. Butter again and fold in half again to form a skinnier rectangle. Repeat with the remaining phyllo, placing a towel over the prepared sheets to prevent them from drying out.
- Pile the mushroom and spinach mixture on one end of each phyllo rectangle. Fold up one corner of the dough over the filling to form a triangle and continue to fold (like a flag), buttering between each fold. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
