Make these easy, crispy Mediterranean Spinach and Feta Cheese Crisps using phyllo dough for a perfect party appetizer or light snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
  • 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 package (16 ounces) phyllo dough, thawed according to package directions
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, oregano, and black pepper. Mix well.
  3. Lay one sheet of phyllo dough flat on a clean, dry surface. Brush the entire surface lightly with melted butter.
  4. Place another sheet of phyllo dough directly on top of the first. Brush this second sheet with butter. Repeat this process until you have a stack of 4 buttered phyllo sheets.
  5. Cut the stacked phyllo sheets into 9 equal squares.
  6. Place about 1 teaspoon of the spinach and feta mixture in the center of each square.
  7. Fold the corners of the phyllo square over the filling to meet in the middle, creating a small, open-topped pouch or bundle. Gently press the edges to seal slightly.
  8. Place the finished crisps seam-side down on the prepared baking sheets. Brush the tops lightly with any remaining melted butter.
  9. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and crisp.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For a lower-carb option, you can substitute puff pastry with low-carb tortillas cut into small circles, though the texture will be less flaky.
  • If you do not have oregano, use a pinch of dried dill for a different Mediterranean flavor profile.
  • You can prepare the filling up to one day ahead and store it covered in the refrigerator.
