Phyllo Recipes : COLLECTION  
2
large Egg whites  
Salt & pepper, to taste  
Phyllo Pastry:  
--------------  
8 Phyllo dough sheets (14x18")  
1 large Egg white  
2 tblsp Olive oil  
1/4 tsp Salt  
1 tsp Poppy or sesame seeds, or a combination  
Instructions:  
-------------  
To make filling:  
---------------  
-
Put spinach with water still clinging to the leaves in a large pot.  
Cover and cook over medium heat until the spinach is wilted, about 5  
minutes. Drain and refresh with cold water. Squeeze the spinach quite  
dry and chop. In nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add  
scallions and saute until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a  
medium-sized bowl and stir in spinach, feta, Parmesan, dill and lemon  
juice. Season with salt and pepper. Beat egg whites lightly with a  
fork and stir into the spinach mixture.  
To form phyllo rolls:  
---------------------  
Set oven rack on the upper level; preheat to 350 degrees F. Coat a  
baking sheet lightly with nonstick cooking spray or line with parchment  
paper. In a small bowl, whisk together egg white, oil and salt. Lay  
one sheet of phyllo on a work surface with a short side toward you.  
Brush lower half of the sheet with the egg-white mixture. Repeat this  
step with a second sheet of phyllo and set on top of the first. Spoon  
one-quarter of the spinach filling along one long edge. Tuck in the  
side edges and roll up, jelly-roll fashion. Place on the prepared  
baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining phyllo, egg-white mixture and  
filling, making 4 rolls in all. Brush tops of the rolls lightly with  
the egg-mixture and sprinkle with seeds, if desired. Bake for 25 to 30  
minutes. With a serrated knife, cut each roll diagonally into 9 pieces  
and serve hot.  
The rolls may be prepared, baked and sliced up to 2 days in advance.  
Reheat in a 350 degree F oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until heated  
through. Makes 36 appetizers.
