Ingredients
10 oz fresh spinach, finely chopped
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
1/2 cup diced smoked chicken
1 package phyllo dough, thawed
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp dried oregano
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the chopped spinach, feta, ricotta, mozzarella, and diced smoked chicken.
Sprinkle with garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper and mix until well combined.
Lay a sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush lightly with melted butter.
Top with another sheet and brush again, repeating until you have 4 layers.
Cut the stack into 3-inch squares.
Place a tablespoon of the mixture in the center of each square and fold the corners toward the center to create a pouch.
Place the crisps on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush the tops with remaining butter.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.
Allow them to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5-8 minutes to restore crispness.
