Instructions
1
Quickly sauté the spinach in a pan until wilted, then transfer it to a colander. Once cooled, wrap it in a kitchen towel and squeeze firmly to remove all the liquid. This is key for crispy pastry!
2
In a pan, sauté the onion and spring onion in a little oil until softened. Remove from heat and let cool.
3
In a bowl, mix the squeezed and chopped spinach, sautéed onion, crumbled feta, eggs, dill, mint, nutmeg, and pepper. Be careful with the salt, as feta is already salty.
4
Cut the filo pastry into long strips, about 8–10 cm wide. Lightly brush each strip with olive oil.
5
Place a heaping spoonful of filling at the bottom of the strip. Fold the bottom corner of the strip over the filling to form a triangle, then continue folding in a triangle shape to the end of the strip.
6
Place the triangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
7
Bake at 180 °C for about 20–25 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
