Ingredients

1 package (about 10 sheets) of filo pastry
1 pound fresh spinach, washed and chopped
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
Melted butter or olive oil for brushing

Instructions

Prepare the Filling:
In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and garlic, sauté until softened.
Add chopped spinach to the pan and cook until wilted. If excess moisture is released, drain and squeeze out any liquid.
Season the spinach mixture with salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, and nutmeg. Stir well.
Transfer the spinach mixture to a large bowl and let it cool for a few minutes.
Once cooled, add crumbled feta and grated Parmesan cheese to the spinach mixture. Mix until well combined. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Prepare the Filo Pastry:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Carefully unroll the filo pastry sheets and cover them with a damp kitchen towel to prevent drying out.
Assemble the Parcels:
Take one sheet of filo pastry and brush it lightly with melted butter or olive oil.
Place another sheet on top and brush again with the fat.
Repeat with a third sheet.
Add the Filling:
Spoon a portion of the spinach-feta mixture onto one end of the filo pastry stack.
Fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle or rectangle, depending on your preference.
Continue folding in a triangular or rectangular shape until you reach the end of the pastry sheet.
Bake:
Place the filled filo parcels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the tops of the parcels with a little more melted butter or olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the filo pastry is golden brown and crispy.
