How to Make Spinach Feta Crisps
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Sauté onion and garlic until fragrant and translucent.
Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Stir in feta, ricotta, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Step 2: Prepare the Phyllo Dough
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil or melted butter.
Layer another sheet on top and brush again. Repeat for 3–4 layers.
Step 3: Assemble the Crisps
Place a small spoonful of the spinach-feta mixture on one end of the phyllo sheet.
Fold over or roll into small triangles or rectangles.
Brush the tops with olive oil or butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
Step 4: Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Tips for the Best Spinach Feta Crisps
- Keep phyllo covered with a damp towel while working to prevent drying.
- Don’t overfill — too much filling can make them difficult to seal.
- Brush each layer generously with oil or butter for extra crispiness.
- Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
Easy Variations
1. Add Herbs
Include fresh dill, parsley, or oregano for extra Mediterranean flavor.
2. Make Mini Triangles
Cut phyllo into smaller rectangles for bite-sized appetizers.
3. Vegan Option
Use vegan feta or tofu crumbles and olive oil instead of butter.
4. Cheese Lover’s Version
Add mozzarella or Parmesan to the filling for extra cheesy goodness.
Storage & Make-Ahead
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes to restore crispiness.
