Ingredients

16

16 servings

  • 1 (16 ounce) package Jimmy Dean® Premium Pork Regular Sausage
  • 1 (10 ounce) box frozen chopped spinach
  • 1 bunch green onions, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 5 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 16 sheets phyllo dough, thawed
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add sausage to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir with a spatula, breaking apart the sausage until cooked, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add spinach, green onions, and red pepper flakes. Continue cooking until the spinach is thawed, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and stir in ricotta cheese and feta cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Unwrap the phyllo dough and cover with a towel to keep it from drying out.
  • Working with one sheet at a time, brush 1/2 of the sheet with melted butter. Fold it in half lengthwise. Place a 1/4 to 1/2 cup of filling in the top-left corner. Fold the bottom-left corner over into a triangle shape. Continue folding edge over edge until you reach the end of the dough and a triangle shape is formed. Place the triangle on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  • Brush all the triangles with melted butter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 25 minutes.
