Phyllo dough is excellent for preparing tasty and light appetizers. Byrekaqe are typical of Balkan cuisine and, in this version, are usually eaten accompanied by plain yogurt. They can also be prepared with other fillings.
Let's start by blanching the spinach for 4/5 minutes. Then let them cool before mixing them with the other ingredients (crumbled Greek feta, egg, Greek yogurt, oil, salt, chopped fresh mint).
At this point, we need to form the byrekaqe as you can see in the video.
Place them on a baking tray covered with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 30 minutes.
