Let's Get Started…
Ingredients To Gather:
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 lb baby spinach
- 1/2 lb feta, crumbled (scant 2 cups)
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 10 (17- by 12-inch) phyllo sheets, thawed if frozen
The Step By Step Directions To Follow:
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, then cook spinach, stirring, until wilted and tender, about 4 minutes.
- Remove from heat and cool, about 10 minutes.
- Squeeze handfuls of spinach to remove as much liquid as possible, then coarsely chop.
- Transfer to a bowl and stir in feta, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Melt remaining 1 stick butter in a small saucepan, then cool.
- Take 1 phyllo sheet from stack and arrange on a work surface with a long side nearest you (keeping remaining sheets covered) and brush with some butter.
- Top with another phyllo sheet and brush with more butter. Cut buttered phyllo stack crosswise into 6 (roughly 12- by 2 3/4-inch) strips.
- Put a heaping teaspoon of filling near 1 corner of a strip on end nearest you, then fold corner of phyllo over to enclose filling and form a triangle. Continue folding strip (like a flag), maintaining triangle shape. Put triangle, seam side down, on a large baking sheet and brush top with butter. Make more triangles in same manner, using all of phyllo.
- Bake triangles in middle of oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool slightly.
