SPINACH AND FETA PHYLLO TRIANGLES - SPANOKOPITA

Steps:

• Microwave 5 oz spinach until wilted, about 1 minute, or put in a skillet, cover with lid and allow to wilt over medium-low heat.
• Take away about 4 tablespoons of beaten egg into a separate bowl. Add the remaining egg to 8 ounces feta, 3 ounces cottage cheese (or homemade farmer's cheese) and mix together until everything is well combined. Now add the spinach and mix again.
• Take about half of your phyllo sheets and cut them into 3 long strips (about 3 inches wide each). Roll up the rest of the phyllo sheets and cover with a towel, to prevent them from drying.
• Drizzle couple teaspoons of butter all over the sheet. Add 1 tablespoon of feta-spinach filling to the end of each strip that's closest to you. Now grab two layers of sheets and start folding like pictured, into a triangle. Try to move fast or the phyllo dough will dry out.
• Place the triangles on a baking sheet and brush each triangle with either butter or the beaten egg. If you brush it with the beaten egg, they will have a sheen to it.
• Try to bake them as soon as you form them, or the wet filling will soften the phyllo and they will break while baking (see last picture in the post). Bake at 350F, for about 20-25 minutes or until golden in color.
