We went to a BBQ over the weekend and I wanted to bring something other than chips. Plus I have been eating pretty good lately and I wasn't about to wake up with the ole chip hangover.We had a ton of frozen spinach in our freezer and it was about time it was put to good use.
What you will need:
- 2 cups of frozen spinach
- 1/2 cup of feta cheese
- 1 garlic minced
- 1 egg
- 1 package of organic mini phyllo shells
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Mix egg, feta and garlic in a bowl
- Defrost frozen spinach in a pot of warm water. Squeeze out excess water
- Stir spinach into the mixture
- Use a spoon to scoop about a tablespoon of the mixture into each phyllo shell
- Bake for 8 minutes.
Even though Ian and I ate most of them before they actually made it to the BBQ they were a hit!On a side note: I cant do anything (blog) without music. I think music can be so inspiring and motivating! I have Pandora on shuffle with Johnny Cash, Mumford and Sons, Jem, Mariah Carey's Holiday Mix (too early for Christmas music? No way) La Roux and Flogging Molly. Does music motivate or distract you?
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

They look delicious! Will have to make these. Thanks for sharing :)
I'm planning a big bday party next Friday, and think I will include these in the appetizer menu. They look fantastic. Thanks for sharing, Lindsay! :)
These are so cute and they sound like they're delicious! I love listening to music when I cook or clean!
These look like such a great appetizer/party treat! Yum! I'm with you on the music -- I always have Pandora on, too. I've been listening to John Mayer, Jack Johnson, Coldplay AND Motown Christmas stations!
Hi Lindsay! I got all excite when I saw those little phyllo cases, hoping you were going to tell me you made them and I could get the recipe. I don't think I've ever seen phyllo cases like that in our stores over here. What a great idea.
Ohhhhh! Music is my life Lindsay. It motivates to do anything. I've just added a 3 disc dance anthem megamix to my playlist. (It's this one: http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/music/pop-rock/wild-reunion-1996-2011/653421) I love anything from music from the 20's and 30's, 50's rock'n'roll (my favourite), 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's, country, rock'n'roll, heavy metal, classical. You name it. I'd say the only music I don't really like is death metal. Sounds a little the same to me. And Justin Bieber! LOL

That looks so delicious!!! Thank you so much for sharing :) I would love to try these but I'm not sure where to find feta cheese XD
I am so going to make these for our co BBQ! Perfect timing post! Love it!
I associate every moment of my life with music. I can never get enough. ( hence rockin out on sats!). A good son can make my day in a second!
Great pics!!
Those phyllo cups are the best. I've done TONS of stuff with them. My sister recently stuffed them with Trader Joe's blue cheese - pecan dip and then put diced pears on top. OMG good.
I'm a music girl too, but I rarely listen to it when I'm on the computer. Clearly I need to bust out the Pandora more often!
I was sold on these things before I even opened your page! Just seeing the words "spinach" and "feta" together makes me hungry. I've had a version of these before and they are absolutely delicious! Thanks for reminding me. Marking for future recipe idea!
In regards to listening to music it depends on the day. Some days I am easily distracted and other times I need the music to motivate me:)
Yum! I'm one of the weirdos that loves spinach :) I'm so excited that we're getting to the "acceptable" time for holiday music! :)
YUMMMM
YUMMMY!!
That looks so good!!! I love music too and Mariah's All I Want for Christmas is my fave. I could listen to that any time of the year!

I NEED the music! No it is never to early for holiday music :) I love spinach and feta in any dish!
Wowww, those look delicious! I usually end up burning phyllo cups, but these just look too good. I also can't do anything without music, I feel awkward when I'm doing something in silence.
Oh my gosh I am obsessed with anything feta/spinach-y! These look SO delicious! I'll definitely have to try them - thanks so much for sharing! And I LOVE music - and you're right, it's never too early for a little Mariah Christmas music! ;)
Hope you have a great weekend! :)

Those look scrumptious! And they seem so easy breezy, too! On the music note- yes! I must have music on almost always, but especially when I am doing anything creative :) xoxoxo brynn
They look delicious! I love that they are tasty as well as being a better alternative to other party foods!! I used to think I didn't like spinach but I had never tried it...now I love it!
YUM! Holy goodness! I want to eat these right this second!
Adorable - they look amazing. And as far as music goes,...I'm not sure I am even able to clean without music going. :)
These look so yummy! LIke mini quiches.
Music usually distracts me, and I can't handle any extra distractions!
So yummy! I love your blog - I added you to my new blog roll of blogs I follow.
Have a great weekend.

Those look so delicious! My fridge is so bare right now - I was just trying to find anything to throw a fast lunch together with and there wasn't a [non-spoiled] veggie to be found! Sadness!
I love listening to music when I'm doing things - especially during meals. I can't stand to hear people eating. I was just speaking with my Teaching Exceptional Students professor about this - if there's any sound I can't control then it's all I can focus on. Even pencils scratching against paper. It's the most frustrating thing doing everything you can to focus on what's being taught when all I can hear is feet tapping, papers shuffling, cellophane crinkling! It's awful! But for some reason music buffers out all that and I can focus on whatever I need to be doing :)
Okay these are adorable and they look yummy! Going to make them for my next dinner party for sure. I hope you have a lovely weekend!

Mmmm...I bet these were delicious. I love spinach!! Definitely trying this baby out.
Jackie

These look amazing!
Also, if it's September it's time for Christmas music. That's a rule. : )
I love that these look so fancy, but are deceptively simple. I can't wait to try them. Also, after making a different zucchini chip recipe, I finally made your zucchini fries recipe and they were much tastier. I'm definitely trusting your recipe ideas!
New Follower! These look super easy and delicious! I will have to try these soon! I also love listening to Pandora!
These look de-lish! :) I'm a sucker for music all of the time too...when I'm in the shower, cooking, etc!
Music is a must! These look so pretty, and spinach and feat? sold
Thank you! These look fabulous!
Looks fantastic!!!

Mmmmmm...those looks absolutely delicious!

I can't do anything without music either!!! I have it on at all times. The hardest thing for me to do is do my hair/makeup without music blasting in the background...it's virtually impossible! haha. These spinach cups look delicious!!!! What a fancy and healthy and delicious snack!
