Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/2 pound frozen pastry (phyllo) -- thawed

2 pounds fresh spinach -- finely chopped

1 onion -- grated

1/2 pound feta cheese -- crumbled

or cottage cheese

1 teaspoon nutmeg

2 eggs -- beaten

salt and black pepper

 

1. Heat oven to 400F. Roll out the pastry to 1/4-inch thickness and cut into

circles, using a cookie cutter or saucer for larger patties.

 

2. Mix the spinach (make sure it is dry) with the other ingredients to make a

stiff consistency.

 

3. Spoon some of the mixture on one half of the pastry circle, fold over the

other half and press down the edges with a fork. Pierce the patty with a fork.

Repeat until all the mix is used up.

 

4. Place the patties on a baking sheet in the oven and cook for 10 to 15 minutes

until golden brown. Serve with salad.

 

* Frozen or canned spinach may not be suitable as these tend to be very wet; if

you use them, drain out most of the moisture after thawing/opening.
