SPANAKOPITA TRIANGLES Recipe | Savory Spinach and Feta Triangles
Are you ready to indulge in the delightful flavors of homemade SPANAKOPITA TRIANGLES? This recipe features a savory spinach and feta filling wrapped in flaky, buttery phyllo pastry. We start by salting the spinach to draw out the moisture and season it to perfection. Then, we sauté onions and green onions to add rich flavors to the filling. Fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley and dill give these triangles a burst of freshness. The spinach filling is bound together with room-temperature eggs and crumbled feta. Finally, we assemble the triangles by brushing each phyllo sheet with melted butter, folding them over the filling, and baking them until golden brown. The end result? Light, crispy, and flaky triangles that are impossible to resist. Make sure to let them cool for a bit before enjoying their savory goodness.
