How to Make the Crunchiest Spinach and Feta Cheese Bites❗️ Light in Calories too 💯

feta cheese

🥗Healthier: cottage cheese

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Cottage cheese is lower in fat and calories while still providing creaminess.

phyllo dough

🥗Healthier: whole wheat pastry dough

💰Cheaper: crescent roll dough

Whole wheat pastry dough adds fiber, while crescent roll dough is often more accessible.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is often less expensive and has a neutral flavor.

spinach

🥗Healthier: kale

💰Cheaper: frozen spinach

Frozen spinach is often cheaper and just as nutritious.

Thaw and squeeze out the excess water from the frozen spinach.

In a mixing bowl, combine the spinach with crumbled feta, olive oil, Himalayan salt, and dried dill. Mix until well combined and set aside.

Cut each spring roll sheet into 4 equal squares. Brush both sides of the spring roll with melted butter and arrange 2 small squares in each muffin pan cup.

Spoon 1 large spoonful of the spinach and feta mixture into the layered dough in each cup. If desired, garnish the bites with a small piece of Boursin or cheddar cheese in the center for a nicer presentation.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 30 minutes or until the bites are golden brown and irresistibly crisp.
