"Like Spanakopita, but a lot easier! These make wonderful finger food for a party! It takes a while to roll these out (recipe makes 40!) so it goes a lot faster if you have help! Recipe is from Family Fun Magazine."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Heat the oven to 375° F. Line a large rimmed cookie sheet with parchment or a silpat.
Step 2
In a food processor fitted with the steel S blade, combine the spinach, feta, and cream cheese. Pulse the mixture until it is smooth. Season with pepper if desired.
Step 3
Transfer the mixture to a pastry bag. You can also use a ziplock bag and snip a 1/4-inch piece from one corner.
Step 4
On a clean work surface, lay out 1 sheet of the phyllo. Brush half of the sheet widthwise with olive oil and fold it in half to make a 7- by 9-inch rectangle. Brush the folded side with oil. Squeeze a thin line of the spinach mixture (approximately 1 tablespoon) along the folded edge. Roll the dough and filling the long way, into a 9-inch-long cylinder. Place the roll on a cookie sheet and brush it with oil.
Step 5
Repeat with the remaining sheets and filling.
Step 6
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden. Makes 40 sticks.
