How
To Make Easy Spanakopita Appetizers :
Preheat
oven to 425°. In a large bowl, mix the first nine ingredients. Place one sheet
of phyllo dough on a work surface; brush with butter. Layer with two additional
phyllo sheets, brushing each layer. (Keep remaining phyllo covered with plastic
wrap and a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.)
Arrange
3/4 cup spinach mixture in a narrow row along the long end of phyllo to within
1 in. of edges. Fold bottom edge of phyllo over filling, then roll up. Brush
end of phyllo dough with butter and press to seal. Repeat four times. Place
rolls on a parchment paper-lined 15x10x1-in. baking pan, seam side down.
Cut
rolls diagonally into 2-in. pieces (do not separate). Brush tops with remaining
butter. Bake until golden brown, 12-15 minutes. If desired, serve with tzatziki
sauce, lemon wedges and additional fresh dill.
Freeze
option: Cover and freeze unbaked rolls on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet
until firm. Transfer to a resealable plastic freezer bag; return to freezer. To
use, bake rolls on a parchment paper-lined 15x10x1-in. baking pan in a
preheated 375° oven until heated through and golden brown, about 25 minutes.
