Onion 1/4 cup finely chopped
Fresh Dill 1/4 cup chopped
Eggs 2 beaten
Phyllo Pastry 4 sheets

Take note
Be careful not to overstuff your muffin cups, as the filling may spill out during baking. Also, the phyllo pastry can dry out quickly, so make sure to work efficiently to prevent it from cracking.

1

Prep the Filling

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of chopped spinach, 1 cup of crumbled feta cheese, 1/4 cup of finely chopped onion, 1/4 cup of chopped fresh dill, 2 beaten eggs, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.

2

Assemble the Muffins

Next, take a sheet of phyllo pastry and brush it lightly with melted butter. Place another sheet on top and repeat the process until you have 4 layers. Cut the layered phyllo into squares that are roughly the size of your muffin cups. Gently press each square into a greased muffin tin, shaping it to fit the cup. Repeat this process until you have used all the pastry.

3

Fill and Bake

Spoon a generous amount of the spinach and feta filling into each phyllo cup, making sure not to overfill them. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the phyllo cups are golden brown and the filling is set. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
