A Greek-inspired dish featuring layers of spinach, feta cheese, and crunchy pistachios rolled into a savory roulade.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 6 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 10 ounces fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped pistachios
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 sheets phyllo dough
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add onion and garlic; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in spinach and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and mix in feta, pistachios, dill, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
  5. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  6. Lay out one sheet of phyllo dough and brush with melted butter; repeat with 3 more sheets.
  7. Spread the spinach mixture evenly over the phyllo layers.
  8. Roll up the phyllo into a log and place on a baking sheet.
  9. Brush the outside with remaining butter and bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
  10. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

For a crispier texture, ensure the phyllo is handled quickly to avoid drying out. Serve with tzatziki sauce for added flavor.
