Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Mix in the sautéed spinach and onion mixture until well combined.

Lay out a sheet of phyllo dough and brush with olive oil.

Place a spoonful of the filling at one end of the phyllo sheet.

Fold the phyllo over the filling to form a triangle and continue folding to the end, sealing the edges.

Repeat with remaining dough and filling.

Place bourekas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
