servings
Spanakopita Bites are flaky and flavorful, making them a perfect appetizer to bring to your next party! With only six simple ingredients, these spinach bites are easy to make, and taste great!
Ingredients
- 3.8 ounces mini phyllo dough shells (2) 1.9 ounce packages- 15 count each package, thawed
- 12 ounces frozen spinach thawed, squeezed well to remove excess moisture- *See Note below
- ¼ cup minced onion
- ½ cup crumbled herbed feta cheese
- 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F., and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with a sheet of parchment.
- Heat skillet on stove top on medium heat. Put 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced onion and sauté until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Add spinach and mix well. It will take a few minutes for the spinach to warm up and soften so that it blends easily. Remove from heat and allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs. Add remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and crumbled feta cheese. Combine cooled, cooked spinach mixture with egg mixture.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until heated through and shells are lightly browned.
Notes
- It's VERY important that you squeeze out as much moisture from the spinach as possible. I usually do this with my hands. Too much moisture will make the bites soggy and they won't bake as well.
