    Ingredients

      10 oz chopped spinach
      1 medium onion
      1 medium garlic clove, minced, 1/2 tsp
      3 oz feta cheese, crumbled
      1/2 cup FF cottage cheese, drained
      1/2 tsp dried oregano
      3 pieces phyllo dough
      (about 12 x 17 inches each)


    Squeeze excess liquid from the spinach and set aside.

    Coat an unheated large skillet with cooking spray. Add the onions and garlic. Cook over medium-high heat until onions are tender, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the spinach.

    In a large bowl, combine the feta cheese, cottage cheese and oregano. Stir in the spinach mixture.

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (175°C). Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside. Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a piece of wax paper; coat evenly with spray. Repeat layering and spraying the phyllo two more time (you¿ll use a total of 3 sheets).

    Cut the stack of prepared phyllo dough horizontally into six strips, then vertically into 4 strips. You should end up with 24 squares. Place a teaspoon of spinach filling into the center of each square and fold it in half so that your square is now a triangle.

    Transfer the filled triangles to the prepared baking sheet. Coat with spray. Bake until golden brown, 15 minutes. Yields 2 triangles per serving.
