Points: 1
Servings: 12
Preparation Time:20 Minutes
Cooking Time: 15 Minutes
Level of Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients:
10 oz chopped frozen spinach, thawed
1 medium onion(s)
1 medium garlic clove(s), minced, 1/2 tsp
3 oz feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup fat-free cottage cheese, drained
1/2 tsp dried oregano
3 sheet phyllo dough, (about 12 x 17 inches each)
Instructions:
1. Squeeze excess liquid from the spinach and set aside.
2. Coat an unheated large skillet with cooking spray. Add the onions and garlic. Cook over medium-high heat until onions are tender, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the spinach.
3. In a large bowl, combine the feta cheese, cottage cheese and oregano. Stir in the spinach mixture.
4. Preheat the oven to 375°F (175°C). Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside. Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a piece of wax paper; coat evenly with spray. Repeat layering and spraying the phyllo two more time (you¿ll use a total of 3 sheets).
5. Cut the stack of prepared phyllo dough horizontally into six strips, then vertically into 4 strips. You should end up with 24 squares. Place a teaspoon of spinach filling into the centre of each square and fold it in half so that your square is now a triangle.
6. Transfer the filled triangles to the prepared baking sheet. Coat with spray. Bake until golden brown, 15 minutes. Yields 2 triangles per serving.
