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 grew up with Spanakopita. This is not the original, but it is a good substitute, ez to make and ez to eat. I really didn't understand the rolling instructions, and found it best just to lay the mix on the short end and roll. Do not cook it too long or it will be dry.

I made these for New Years Eve and they were really good. I did add a few extra ingredients of my own after reading some of the comments. I added some garlic, onion and crushed red pepper for some zip. I also used tomato & basil feta instead. My family loved them and asked for the recipe. Great recipe to make ahead!!!

The filling was very easy to make and it was very yummy. I served it on Christmas and everyone loved it. I liked how I could make it ahead of time. I only used some of the rolls and put the rest in the freezer, which I like. Now I have some for another time. This was my first time using Phyllo dough and found it kind of hard to work with - it's so delicate.
