Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large saute pan, add half of the spinach and saute until spinach wilts, tossing with tongs, about 2 minutes. Remove spinach and squeeze out excess liquid, then chop roughly. Repeat with remaining spinach, using 1 more tablespoon of olive oil. Pour off any liquid from the pan, and add remaining olive oil. Add scallions and saute until soft, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the spinach to the scallions, along with the parsley, salt and pepper. Cook over low heat for 1 to 2 minutes, then remove from heat to cool. (This part can be done ahead and kept refrigerated).
- Stir the feta and as much beaten egg to moisten the cooled spinach mixture.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush a baking sheet with some of the melted butter.
- Unroll the filo dough on a flat surface and keep it covered with waxed paper and a damp towel so it doesn't dry out and become brittle. Using a sharp knife, cut the filo into 3 by 11 inch strips, and recover with the towel. Use a pastry brush to brush a strip of filo with melted butter. Place a small spoonful of spinach filling 1 inch from the end of the pastry. Fold the end over the filling to form a triangle, then continue to fold up the strip in triangles, like folding up a flag. Continue with remaining strips of dough, placing filled triangles on the baking sheet and keeping them covered with a towel until all are ready to bake.
- Brush the triangles lightly with butter, then bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Serve hot. (These may be frozen before baking, layering waxed paper between layers of triangles to keep them from sticking. Bake frozen triangles an extra 10 minutes.)
SPINACH PHYLLO TRIANGLES
Steps:
- Using a coffee filter set over a bowl, drain the ricotta. Discard liquid and set ricotta aside.
- In a 2-quart saute pan over medium heat, melt butter. Add parsley, creamed spinach, pepper, and nutmeg and cook for 5 minutes. Add ouzo and simmer for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in ricotta and feta cheeses and the pepperoncini. Let cool and then refrigerate for 20 minutes or more.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- In the meantime, roll out the phyllo dough and, starting from the long side, cut sheets into 2-inch wide strips. Cover with a paper towel and a slightly dampened kitchen towel. Take 3 strips and brush the top sheet lightly with olive oil. Top with 1 teaspoon of filling, placed 1/2-inch above the bottom corner. Fold into a triangle shape and repeat as though folding into a flag. Repeat. Arrange triangles seam side down on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly brush triangles with olive oil and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly and transfer to a serving platter. Freeze leftover phyllo dough for other uses.

Steps:
- Drain the spinach -- squeeze out all excess liquid.

- Place a sheet of phyllo dough on a cutting board and brush with melted butter. With a sharp knife, cut the sheet into 5 pieces, each about 3 inches wide.
- Place a scant 1 T. filling at the bottom of each piece (don't fill it too full or the phyllo won't be able to crisp up over the filling), and roll up so as to form a triangle (think flag folding). Move one side to the other until the whole is rolled up. Contine with remaining phyllo and spinach mixture until all spinach is gone.
- Bake on a buttered cookie sheet at 400 degrees F. for about 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
