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.

I made this recipe for my family over the Christmas holiday. First Christmas eve with my husbands family and then Christmas day with my family. Both days the plate was empty within minutes of cutting it. Everyone I asked about it said they couldn't believe there was spinach in it. I was told by everyone that I now have to make it for every family get-together!!!! I also have to pass the recipe on to my family so they can make it at home. Even my very picky 7 year old nephew couldn't wait to get another piece. Thanks for the great recipe!!!!!

I prepared this recipe using cooking spray instead of melted butter. I froze it for approx. a week. I let it set 10 minutes from the freezer before cooking. I cooked it in my toaster oven. I had to cook it longer then 25 minutes. I cooked it for approx. 55 minutes. It was delicious, it was eaten within minutes of being served. Next time though, I will try preparing it with both the spray and the butter. With a combination of both, it would use less fat. This is a keeper, really good.

Love this............make ahead & freeze!! Pull out the night before your party, and defrost in the fridge. Big hit!!!! My brother want's me to email him the recipe ( and he won't eat spinach)

I've made this recipe twice. (today will be the 3rd!) Everyone loved it including me. The only thing that would make it better were if it could magically be fat free! It was so easy to make and even my Feta Cheese hating husband loved it.

This was an absolutely delicious appetizer! My friends and family devoured it, and have asked that I make it again for future parties. Also, it was very convenient to make a few days prior and freeze.

I am going to make this recipe for our Christmas dinner. I will give my comments later, however I think I have tried this at a friends house before and I really liked it.

Few years ago, I ate phyllo rolls, made by my friend. It was so good, fantastic taste, and now I want to cook it by myself.
