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.

These were a huge hit at a holiday party where everyone brought a dish. Everyone asked who made the spinach rolls. I made the recipe again and froze them for my next get together.

HUGE HIT! It was a welcomed change among our usual " meat and potatoe lovers". It is now on the lists of requests for our next get together. The biggest challenge is the Phyllo. Next time I'll try the cups.

very good and so easy to make! everyone thought i bought these and just heated them up. What a time saver too, i made these a few days before my party and put them in the freezer until i need them. i will definitely make these again!

I would have to say the same thing about the filling being too heavy for 3 sheets of phylo, but also everybody loved it at my company's Christmas Party.

Don't be afraid of Phyllo dough. It really was easy, and everyone loved it. Spanikapitas are harder to make. Next time I will brush the top with a little egg, to give it a more golden brown color. Yummy.

I thought it was something different and taste very good. My niece served it at a party at our church.

I was going to make this recipe for a Christmas Party -- but am not going to now. I tried making it today (a week before the party) and really was not that impressed. I love spinach - but this was a little too spinachy for me. Looking for dessert ideas now..

The filling is much too heavy for just 3 sheets of phyllo. Next time I will use 5 or 6 sheets per log. Everyone at my party loved it including myself. Yes....I'm a spinach lover.

I thought they were OK, my husband did NOT like them and my mellow husband was rather vocal about how awful they were. I tried this recipe because of the posts that said 'people who are not spinach fans loved them' well, my husband is not a spinach fan and is even less of one now.

I made this recipe just this week. It is really good. I have two rolls in the freezer and plan to serve it again this Sunday. I substituted the cream cheese vegetable spread with just plain cream cheese and it reminded me somewhat of Spinach Cheese Burek.
