Description
Enjoy a unique twist on traditional spanakopita with these crispy, flaky rice paper triangles filled with a savory spinach and feta cheese mixture.
Ingredients
– 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
– 10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
– 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 20 round rice paper wrappers
– 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, feta, spinach, garlic, dill, parsley, and nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Dip a rice paper wrapper in warm water for 10-15 seconds until softened. Blot excess water with a paper towel.
4. Place 2-3 tablespoons of the spinach mixture in the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom edge over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll up tightly into a triangle.
5. Place the wrapped triangles seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. Brush the tops of the triangles with the beaten egg.
7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown.
8. Serve warm, with tzatziki sauce or other dipping sauce on the side.
Notes
For best results, work with one wrapper at a time and keep the remaining wrappers covered to prevent drying out. You can also make these in advance and freeze unbaked for up to 3 months. Bake straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
