Great to hand around at parties or as a meal with salad on the side.


Ingredients (makes 30 )

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion finely diced
  • 315g frozen spinach, thawed, drained, chopped and squeezed dry
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 100g feta cheese crumbled
  • 125g cottage cheese
  • 1 egg whisked
  • 1 packet filo pastry
  • 280g unsalted butter melted

Method

  1. Heat olive oil in a saucepan, add onion and cook until tender. Add spinach and salt and when all liquid has evaporated from spinach, stir in feta, cottage cheese and egg. Cook and stir until thick about 5 to 7 mins. Reduce heat to low simmer.
  2. Unroll filo pastry sheets keeping a damp tea towel over the sheets while you work. Lay out a sheet and brush with butter. Cut into strips approximately 12cm wide and layer the strips one on top of another so you have a strip that is 3 sheets thick.
  3. Place 1 tablespoon of the onion, spinach and feta mixture at one end of the filo pastry strip and fold the end over the filling so it forms a triangle. Continue folding until you have a small stuffed triangle and brush with unsalted butter.
  4. Place stuffed triangles on a large baking tray and bake for 15 minutes or until crisp and golden.

  • I wonder of this would work if I omitted the egg?


    • Absolutely. The egg is just the binder – substitute with pumpkin puree, theres a lot of natural binding starch in pumpkins.



      • love the idea of using pumpkin puree!
