Yields8 Servings
 3 tbsp Light Olive Oil or Canola Oil
 1 Large Onion, chopped
 3 Cloves Garlic, crushed
 16 oz Frozen spinach, thawed
 Salt and Pepper, to taste
 2 Eggs, lightly beaten
 12 oz Crumbled Feta Cheese
 ½ tsp Nutmeg
 1 stick Butter, melted
 1 Package Phyllo Pastry Sheets
 ½ cup Parmesan Cheese
1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onions for 3 Minutes until soft. Add garlic and continue to saute a minute longer. Add the spinach, season with salt and pepper, and continue to saute until the spinach is heated through about 2 Minutes. Remove from heat, place in a colander, and squeeze out excess liquid. Set aside to cool. The filling needs to be cool and dry to prevent the phyllo from becoming soggy.

In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with feta, and nutmeg. Fold in the cooled spinach mixture until well blended. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpat. Unroll the phyllo dough and lay it flat on a work surface. Take care to keep the phyllo covered with a damp towel as you work to prevent drying out and becoming brittle. Take one sheet from the pile and place it on your work surface. Brush it with melted butter, and top with another sheet. Brush once again with butter. Repeat with 2 more sheets of phyllo, stacking one on top of each other. With a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the sheets lengthwise into thirds to form 2-1/2-inch wide strips.

Place a heaping teaspoon of filling near 1 corner of the layered phyllo strip. Fold the end at an angle over the filling to form a triangle. Continue to fold the triangle along the strip until you reach the end. Brush the top with butter and dust with Parmesan, place on prepared baking sheet, and cover while preparing the remaining pastries. Repeat until all the filling and phyllo strips are used up. Bake for 15 to 20 Minutes until the triangles are crisp and golden. Serve hot, warm or cold. These can also be frozen raw and baked as needed.
