Follow for more SPANAKOPITA TRIANGLES - flaky, crunchy and so so cheesy. This recipe is a mashup between a spanakopita and bourekas, all you need for these hand pies are store bought phyllo pastry, spinach, feta and some other grated cheese of choice. Feta is great on its own, but I like the additional creaminess mozzarella brings Fold the cheesy phyllo, bake it and there you have it! Ingredients (makes 20-24) Instructions
