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.

Very good flavor. Next time I will use cresent rolls instead for the wrapping. A lot easier and still have the good taste!! Will make again!

These were a little hard to make because of the phyllo dough but they were very good.

Loved the recipe. I added more seasonings and used a whipped veggie cream cheese. I took someone else's idea and used the Crisco butter spray instead of melting butter. I made them for a baby shower and they were great! Hard to slice nice but full of flavor. I will make ahead for myself and just pull out what I need. Love the fact that they can be made ahead.

This is probably my favorite recipe from Kraft. I absolutely love these. Great flavor! While they take some time to make, they are worth it. Plus, they can be made ahead and frozen. I'm often asked to bring these to parties. I did find that slicing into larger pieces is easier and less likely to tear up the rolls. A longer cooling time also helps with this.

Lacked lots of flavor. I prefer quicker recipes although using the spray vegetable oil worked faster. I didn't like using all the butter so I only used it on the first and last sheets; also used 4 sheets and it worked fairly well. Scoring them before storing helps keep them from cracking. This is a very hearty appetizer. Although I wasn't impressed with them, my guests really liked them and said I could make them again.

Wonderful! Went over really well with my card club group. It made for a nice snack while we were playing cards & it was easy to make.

These were okay. They were easy to make and very flaky, however , they lacked a lot of flavor. If I were to make this again, I would definantly add more seasoning.

A little difficult to make. It kept falling apart, but I think the second time around it will be a lot easier since I know what to do. People LOVED eating though.
