Quantities are estimated based on standard recipes for your convenience. The actual ingredients used in this video are accurate.
feta cheese
🥗Healthier: cottage cheese
💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese
Cottage cheese offers a lower-fat option while maintaining creaminess.
phyllo dough
🥗Healthier: whole wheat pastry dough
💰Cheaper: homemade pastry dough
Whole wheat adds fiber, while homemade can be more cost-effective.
olive oil
🥗Healthier: avocado oil
💰Cheaper: vegetable oil
Avocado oil provides healthy fats, while vegetable oil is budget-friendly.
yogurt
🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt
💰Cheaper: sour cream
Greek yogurt is richer in protein, while sour cream is often less expensive.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and chop the spinach, then sauté it with chopped onions in olive oil until wilted, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly, then mix in crumbled feta cheese, eggs, and chopped parsley.
Lay out a sheet of phyllo dough on a greased baking tray and brush with melted butter or olive oil.
Place another sheet on top and repeat the brushing process.
Spread a portion of the spinach mixture along one edge of the phyllo.
Roll the phyllo tightly around the filling to form a log, then coil it into a spiral shape.
Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling, placing spirals on the baking tray.
Brush the tops with more melted butter or oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
