What You Need

1 egg, beaten

1 pkg. (300 g) frozen chopped spinach, thawed, well drained

1 cup Kraft Feta with Oregano, Sun Dried Tomatoes and Cracked Peppercorns Cheese

1 tub (250 g) Philadelphia Cream Cheese Spread

4 green onions, finely chopped

15 sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed

1/3 cup butter, melted

Make It

MIX first 5 ingredients until well blended. Brush 1 phyllo sheet lightly with butter; top with 2 more phyllo sheets, lightly brushing each layer with some of the remaining butter. Place remaining phyllo between sheets of plastic wrap; set aside.

SPREAD 1/5 of the spinach mixture along one short side of phyllo stack. Fold in long sides of phyllo; roll up from one short side to make log. Brush with some of the remaining butter. Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets, spinach mixture and butter. Make small cuts in tops of logs at 1-inch intervals.

PLACE in large freezer-weight resealable plastic bags. (Or wrap tightly in plastic wrap until ready to bake.) Remove from freezer 30 min. before baking. Let stand at room temperature while heating oven to 375ºF. Place on baking sheet.

BAKE 25 min. or until golden brown. Cool 5 min. Transfer to cutting board. Use serrated knife to cut each log into 6 slices.

Easier than they look or sound. Very good flavor.

ok, I have a hard time eating 'spanikopita', which is an appetizer made with spinach and phyllo. They often taste too spinachy and have a sludgy texture. I didn't know if these would be similar and was really happy the way they turned out. Spanikopita has no comparison to these roll-ups. They taste amazing! I made some to freeze for a party and baked just a few for some surprise company and boy were they delicious! Darn that I had to share! Didn't want to..I could have eaten them all. My daughter loved them too. I will be making them frequently in the future.

This Recipe Is Flipping Amazing! I Make Them Ahead & Freeze Them, My Boyfriend Takes A Log Out & Has It For A Mid-Night Snack, Healthy & Filling I Couldnt Find That Type Of Feta Cheese, So I Purchased Regular Feta Cheese & A Package Of Sun-Dried Tomatoes (Chopped Them Up & Added It In The Mix) TASTES GREAT!!

These are SO good and SO easy to make! I tried them on my hubby before our Christmas potluck, just to make sure they were edible and now I have friends and family begging me to make them for Christmas and New Year's parties! So yummy!

So easy to make and so portable. I had to drive for 4 hours to my family gathering so just popped them in a container in a cooler & baked them there. I couldn't find some of the ingredients at my local supermarket so I subbed regular cream cheese for herb and garlic and found a feta with basil and sun dried tomatoes then just grinded some pepper into the mix.

Excellent! I didn't have feta on hand, so substituted with shredded mozzarella; they turned out delicious and were a huge hit.

I make this recipe every year however I add a rounded teaspoon of garlic. My guests love them. I make individual ones that are shaped like triangles. See inside phyllo pastry box for details. I make ahead & freeze. Then I can take out as many as I like.
