Dairy (Feta Cheese)
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh spinach, cleaned and chopped
- 1 large onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium tomatoes, diced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup bell peppers, diced (red, green, and yellow)
- 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
- 2 cups phyllo dough sheets
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil, for cooking
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until they are soft and fragrant.
- Stir in the spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, and bell peppers, cooking for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked vegetable mixture, Kalamata olives, feta cheese, parsley, and mint. Mix well and set aside.
- Lay out 2 sheets of phyllo dough on your work surface, brushing each with melted butter. Cut them into equal sized squares. Repeat until all the phyllo dough is used, creating a total of 18 squares.
- Place a spoonful of the vegetable mixture in the center of each phyllo square, folding them into triangles and sealing the edges to create cute little parcels.
- Arrange the filled phyllo packages on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them for even cooking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 20 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Mouthwatering Veggie Delight!
