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 replaced the cream cheese spread with low fat cream cheese mixed with a pkg of vegetable recipe and soup mix. I replaced the butter with olive oil to brush the phyllo. It was a big hit with my 2 teenage kids plus their cousins who were visiting. Will definately make it again!

This was a big hit with my friends and family New Years Eve. The flavors are a delicious creamy blend and it was relatively easy to prepare and the video was a big help with instructions on working with the phyllo dough.

Wonderful recipe, very quick to make. I tried basting the butter, but tore the sheets, so used butter spray instead. It was great tasting and so quick and easy. This was the first to go completely at a recent party. I plan on making some ahead for Christmas!

I have made it a few time. Even froze extra for a later date. Just have to remember to take out in time. It has great flavor

Tasted great, but very messy. My phyllo dough basically all fell off when I cut the roll into pieces.

My husband does like Spinach but when he tried this he said "wow" Thats always a good sign. My mom loved it and so did I. Excellent is all I have to say!

I used the garlic/onion cream cheese and my friends loved it. The next time I make it I will try doubling the phyllo as I thought there should be more. I know--added calories--especially since I used butter. :)
