Ingredients
For the Rolls
- 12 phyllo pastry sheets, thawed
- 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (for brushing)
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
- 2 garlic cloves, minced

Garlic Yogurt Dip
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 garlic clove, grated

- 1 tbsp chopped dill
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Sauté the spinach for 2–3 minutes until wilted. Let it cool, then squeeze out any excess moisture.
- In a bowl, combine the spinach, feta, mozzarella, cream cheese, garlic, parsley, oregano, black pepper, and egg.
- Lay one sheet of phyllo pastry on a clean surface and lightly brush with olive oil or melted butter. Add a second sheet on top.
- Place a strip of filling near one edge and roll tightly into a thin cigar shape, folding in the sides as you roll.
- Arrange the rolls seam-side down on the baking tray.
- Brush the tops with more butter or olive oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
- Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until deeply golden and crispy.
- Mix the dip ingredients together and serve alongside the hot rolls.
