Heavy Apps: Spanakopita Bites
Snacks for dinner? We call those Heavy Apps.
Ingredients:
1 small onion
3 green onions
1-10 oz. package spinach, thawed, chopped and squeezed of moisture
6 oz. feta cheese, crumbled
1 cup ricotta cheese
2 eggs
Salt and pepper, to taste
Large pinch of nutmeg
1 lb. phyllo (you may not use it all)
6 tbsp butter, melted
1/2 cup Parmesan, grated
Step 1
Chop 1 yellow onion & 3 green onions, cook over medium heat until soft
Step 2
While onions are cooking – mix thawed and squeezed spinach, feta, ricotta, and egg
Step 3
Add salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Then combine with the cooked onion mixture
Step 4
Unroll your phyllo dough and cover with a clean damp tea towel. Remove one sheet and lay flat on the counter. Brush with the melted butter then layer another sheet of phyllo on top.
Step 5
Use kitchen scissors to cut into 2" pieces. Place each square in a cup of a mini muffin pan and lightly brush with butter. Repeat the layers two more times for each cup (we won't judge you if skip this all together and use premade phyllo cups)
Step 6
Place a spoonful of the spinach mixture in each cup and then top with some Parmesan.
Step 7
Bake for 15-20 min. until golden brown
