Easy Spanakopita Phyllo Appetizers (Make Ahead Option)

Created by KittenCal on December 18, 2013

1 large egg
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed (hand-squeeze out any excess moisture)
8 ounces feta cheese (crumbled, 2 cups)
1 cup cottage cheese (4% small-curd, DO NOT use fat-free or low-fat!)

Step 1: In a large bowl combine the egg with spinach, feta cheese, cottage cheese and pepper; set aside.
Step 2: Brush a 15-inch x 10-inch baking sheet/pan with some of the butter.
Step 3: Layer eight sheets of phyllo dough in prepared pan, brushing each with butter. (Keep remaining dough covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.)
Step 4: Spread with spinach mixture. Top with remaining phyllo dough, brushing each sheet with butter.
Step 5: Cover and freeze for 30 minutes (must be froze to slice evenly -- or cover the complete pan tightly with foil and freeze for 1 month, when ready to use continue with the following two steps).
Step 6: Using a sharp knife slice into 1-inch squares.
Step 7: Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
