Description
Crispy, golden-brown rice paper wrappers filled with a savory spinach and feta cheese filling – a unique twist on the classic Greek spanakopita appetizer.
Ingredients
– 16 rice paper wrappers
– 10 ounces fresh spinach, chopped
– 8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
– 2 eggs, beaten
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 clove garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a bowl, combine the chopped spinach, crumbled feta, beaten eggs, olive oil, garlic, oregano, and nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. One at a time, soak the rice paper wrappers in water for 10-15 seconds until pliable. Gently transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
5. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the spinach-feta filling onto the center of each wrapper. Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll up tightly to form a triangle.
6. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the rice paper wrappers are golden brown and crispy.
7. Serve the Rice Paper Spanakopita warm, with a side of tzatziki sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
For best results, work in batches when soaking and filling the rice paper wrappers to prevent them from becoming too sticky. You can also make these in advance and freeze them, then bake from frozen when ready to serve.
