What You Need

egg, beaten

pkg. (10 oz.) frozen chopped spinach, thawed, well drained

cup ATHENOS Traditional Crumbled Feta Cheese

tub (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Garden Vegetable 1/3 Less Fat than Cream Cheese

green onions, finely chopped

sheets frozen phyllo dough (14x9 inch), thawed

1/3

cup butter, melted

Make It

MIX first 5 ingredients until well blended. Brush 1 phyllo sheet lightly with butter; top with 2 more phyllo sheets, lightly brushing each layer with some of the remaining butter. Place remaining phyllo between sheets of plastic wrap; set aside.

SPREAD 1/5 of the spinach mixture along one short side of phyllo stack. Fold in long sides of phyllo; roll up from one short side to make log. Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets and spinach mixture. Brush with remaining butter. Make small cuts in tops of logs at 1-inch intervals. Place in large freezer-weight resealable plastic bags or wrap tightly in plastic wrap.

FREEZE up to 3 months. When ready to bake, remove desired number of logs from freezer. Refrigerate, tightly wrapped, several hours or overnight until thawed. Unwrap, then place on baking sheet. Bake in 375°F oven for 25 min. or until golden brown. Cool 5 min. Transfer to cutting board. Use serrated knife to cut each log into 6 slices.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Storage Know-How

Leftover phyllo sheets can be wrapped tightly and refrozen.

How to Prepare with 18x14-inch Phyllo Sheets

Use a total of 9 phyllo sheets, spreading 1/3 of the filling on each stack of 3 sheets and rolling up each stack to make a total of 3 logs. Freeze and bake as directed. Cut each log into 10 slices to serve.

Variation

Omit butter. Spray phyllo sheets with cooking spay instead of brushing with the melted butter.

Pretty good. Unbaked rolls kept well in freezer for a short time.

I did not like the way this recipe came out. I had a difficult time with the phyllo wrap. I had made this for a xmas party I was hosting and I ended up not serving this dish. I did like the filling and would probably make the filling on its own as a dip.

I made this for a party and it went over very well. I worried that I might have to take a few home...turns out, I only took home an empty serving tray. My husband loved it. It's definitely a keeper!!

I made this on two different occasions for company. Both times everyone raved about it. They couldn't believe that it was home made. Yet it was very simple to prepare. I loved the fact that you can prepare it ahead of time, freeze it, then bake when ready.
