🧀 Feta Cheese Foldovers – Flaky, Savory Pastry Bites


  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

• 1 package (14 oz) phyllo dough, thawed
• 8 oz feta cheese, crumbled
• 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped (or thawed frozen spinach, squeezed dry)
• ¼ cup ricotta or goat cheese (optional, for creaminess)
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
• 1 egg, beaten (for binding & egg wash)
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
• 4 tbsp butter or olive oil, melted (for brushing)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix feta, spinach, ricotta (if using), green onions, dill, egg, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  3. Unroll phyllo dough and cover with a damp towel to prevent drying.
  4. Stack 2–3 sheets of phyllo at a time, brushing each layer lightly with melted butter.
  5. Cut stack into 4 rectangles (about 4×6 inches).
  6. Place 1–2 tbsp filling at one end of each rectangle. Fold over diagonally to form a triangle, sealing edges with more butter.
  7. Transfer to the baking sheet and brush tops with butter.
  8. Bake 12–15 minutes, until golden and crisp.
  9. Serve warm—they’re perfect with toothpicks!

✨ Great for:
• Holiday parties
• Brunch buffets
• Mediterranean platters

💡 Make ahead: Assemble unbaked foldovers and freeze. Bake from frozen (+3–5 mins).
