Ingredients

  • 8-10 sheets of phyllo dough

  • 1 cup ricotta

  • 1/2 cup feta

  • 1 container / bag of fresh spinach

  • 1-2 Tbsp Spiceology Greek Freak Mediterranean blend

  • 1 Tbsp lemon zest

  • 1 egg for egg wash

  2. Cook your spinach with some olive oil and a pinch of salt, set aside and let cool once cooked.

  3. Mix together your ricotta, feta, Spiceology Greek Freak seasoning, lemon juice, and zest. Chop your cooked spinach once cooled and add to your cheese mix.

  4. Fold 1 sheet of phyllo dough in half and place the long sides up and down, add a good sized spoon full of your mix to the phyllo and fold into triangle pockets, or whatever shape you’d like!

  5. Brush the tops of your pockets with egg wash, sprinkle with more Spiceology Greek Freak and bake for 20-24 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden and crispy.
