Make these simple, flaky crisps filled with spinach and salty feta cheese. They are perfect as a quick appetizer or a savory snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (16 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed very dry
  • 8 ounces crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 package (16 sheets) phyllo dough, thawed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the dry spinach, feta cheese, beaten egg, Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, and pepper. Mix until the filling is evenly combined.
  3. Lay one sheet of phyllo dough flat on a clean, dry surface. Brush the entire surface lightly with melted butter. Place another sheet directly on top and brush with butter. Repeat this process until you have a stack of four buttered phyllo sheets.
  4. Cut the stacked phyllo sheets into 9 equal squares. Place about 1 teaspoon of the spinach and feta mixture onto the center of each square.
  5. Fold the corners of the square over the filling to meet in the center, creating a small, gathered bundle or triangle shape. Gently press the edges to seal.
  6. Place the finished crisp onto the prepared baking sheets. Repeat the layering and folding process with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling to make 36 crisps total.
  7. Brush the tops of the assembled crisps lightly with any remaining melted butter.
  8. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crisps are golden brown and flaky. Serve warm as a savory Greek cheese bite.

Notes

  • For an air fryer spinach feta crisp variation, cook in a single layer at 350°F (175°C) for 6 to 8 minutes, checking frequently to prevent burning.
  • If you want a low carb Mediterranean crisp option, you can substitute the phyllo dough with thin slices of zucchini or eggplant as a base, though the texture will change.
  • This recipe makes excellent Mediterranean finger foods for parties.
