Spanakopita is a fun lunch, snack or dinner choice for your family because little kids can hold the individual servings in their hands and they are easy to eat.
0 Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
1 Place the first 5 ingredients into a bowl and mix.
2 Gently place one sheet of phyllo on a work surface and brush gently with melted butter (while you work, make sure the remaining phyllo dough is covered with a damp towel because it dries out quickly).
3 Place another sheet of phyllo on top and brush with more butter.
4 Add a third sheet of phyllo to the top of the stack, giving you a total of 3 layers (no need to brush the top with butter).
5 Cut the buttered stack into 3 lengthwise strips (each about 12 inches long and 3 inches wide).
6 Take one strip and put 1 tbsp of filling near the corner nearest to you, then fold corner over to form a triangle.
7 Continue folding over, like a flag, keeping a triangle shape.
8 Place the stuffed triangles, seam side down, onto a silpat or parchment paper lined baking sheet and lightly brush the tops with butter.
9 Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
10 Cool and serve.
