How to Make Goat Cheese And Spinach Turnovers

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes, until softened.
  3. Increase heat to high. Add the spinach and sauté until wilted, about 5 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and drain the spinach mixture thoroughly in a colander. Press firmly to remove excess liquid.
  5. Transfer the spinach mixture to a bowl and let it cool completely.
  6. Add the crumbled goat cheese, toasted pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, rosemary, and lemon zest to the cooled spinach mixture.
  7. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Lay out one sheet of phyllo dough. Cut it lengthwise into 3 equal strips.
  9. Brush each strip lightly with melted butter.
  10. Place about 1 rounded tablespoon of the filling at one end of a dough strip.
  11. Fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle, continuing to fold up the length of the pastry.
  12. Repeat steps 9-11 with the remaining phyllo strips and filling.
  13. Transfer the assembled turnovers to a baking sheet.
  14. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and chill for at least 15 minutes.
  15. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  16. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the turnovers are golden brown and crispy.
  17. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
