HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.

02

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

03

Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-5 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly, then squeeze out any excess water.

04

In a medium bowl, combine the wilted spinach, crumbled feta cheese, remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and black pepper. Mix well.

05

Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface. Brush lightly with melted butter. Place a second sheet on top and brush with butter again. Repeat with a third sheet.

06

Spoon about 1/4 of the spinach and feta mixture in a line along one long edge of the phyllo sheets, leaving a 1-inch border. Carefully roll the phyllo tightly into a log.

07

Place the rolled phyllo seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling to make a total of 4 rolls.

08

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
