This recipe varies greatly. You can add anything you like. Substitute the
spinach with roasted garlic or onions, or if you do not like a certain cheese,
try another one. You can also freeze them uncooked for up to six months.
1 lb package of phyllo pastry dough
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup feta cheese
1 cup mizithra cheese (a salty Greek cheese available at most supermarkets)
1 x (10-ounce) box frozen spinach, thawed and well-drained
Instructions:
Instructions: 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. If phyllo was frozen, let thaw for at least half an hour. While it is thawing, mix together cheeses and spinach. Set aside.

2 Take one sheet of phyllo and brush lightly with butter. Repeat once more.

(Not too much butter, because you are going to glaze the outside after folding.)

3. Cut phyllo into 5 lengthwise strips about 2 inches wide.

4. Place about 1 teaspoon of cheese mixture on one end of strip. Fold into triangles (like folding a flag). Butter outside edges to hold together.

5. Keep reserved phyllo covered with damp cloth while working. Repeat until all the dough and/or cheese mixture is gone.

6. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet at 400 degrees for 16-20 minutes or until golden brown. Bake about a dozen at a time.
