SPANAKOPITA

Serves 6
Ingredients
3 oz. Unsalted butter
1 Clove garlic
1 lb. Picked and clean spinach
4 oz. Feta cheese
Pinch Nutmeg

3 oz. Clarified butter
9 Sheets Phyllo dough

Procedures

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Filling:
 Heat a medium sauté pan (medium-high heat)
 Add the butter to lightly coat the bottom of the pan.
 Mix in the garlic and the spinach. Cook until spinach is slightly wilted (approximately two minutes).
 Remove from spinach from the pan and place on a dish or paper towel. Cool spinach.
 In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled spinach, feta cheese and nutmeg. Mix well and set aside.
Phyllo:

 Lay the Phyllo dough on a baking sheet and cover with a damp cloth.
 On a cutting board lay out one sheet of Phyllo. Sparingly brush clarified butter on the sheet. Repeat to make a total of three layers.
 Cut the Phyllo sheet vertically into six strips. Place one tablespoon of the spinach mixture on the end of each Phyllo strip.
 Fold the bottom left corner to the right top corner over the spinach mixture. You will be forming small triangles.
 Repeat folding about four times or until completely sealed.
 Place triangles on prepared baking sheet.
 Lightly brush the top of the triangles with butter.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
