Make-Ahead Spinach Phyllo Roll-Ups

Prep Time: 30 min
Total Time: 55 min
Makes: 5 logs, 6 slices each or 30 servings, 1 slice each

1 egg, lightly beaten
1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained
1 cup l Crumbled Feta Cheese
1 tub (8 oz.) Garden Vegetable Light Cream Cheese Spread
1/2 cup finely chopped green onions
15 sheets frozen phyllo sheets (14x9 inch), thawed
1/3 cup butter, melted

MIX egg, spinach, feta cheese, cream cheese spread and onions until
well blended. Set aside.

PLACE 1 of the phyllo sheets on a clean work surface. Brush lightly
with butter. Top with 2 more phyllo sheets, brushing more of the remaining
butter between each layer. Place remaining phyllo between sheets of plastic
wrap; set aside.

SPREAD 1/5 of the spinach mixture along 1 of the short sides of the
phyllo stack; fold in both long sides, then roll up, starting at 1 of the
short sides to make a log. Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets and
spinach mixture to make 4 more logs. Brush with remaining butter. To
prevent phyllo from cracking, score logs at 1-inch intervals. Place in
large freezer-weight resealable plastic bags or wrap tightly in plastic
wrap.

FREEZE up to 3 months. When ready to bake, remove desired number of
logs from freezer. Refrigerate, tightly wrapped, several hours or overnight
until thawed. Place on baking sheet. Bake in preheated 375°F-oven for 25
min. or until golden brown. Cool 5 min.; place on cutting board. Cut each
log into 6 slices with serrated knife to serve.

Thanks, Wayne. I'll try this next. Boy!it seemed I had everything in the
house dirty boiling the spinach, 4 batches of 8 oz. each. Straining it, etc.
Then frying it "up." Perhaps since there is no big onion or garlic in this
recipe, I won't have to do the 'fry pan thing' either.
I'll look next Wednesday when I 'go uptown' for the Philadelphia Garden
Vegetable Light Cream Cheese along with getting the frozen spinach. This
will give me use for the second half of the phyllo.
DH can figure the rolling up/out part. He's good at that.
It seems that Athens is the phyllo of choice and probably the most
available.

I'm glad you're going to try this, Dee. I don't have the time right now
for much cooking, but am really interested in knowing how these come out.
It would be a great shortcut from the traditional method.

Yeah, sometimes easier tastes better knowing you haven't got all that time
invested. I have a baked chili rellenos that is my favorite, and in great
part mostly because it's easier than the traditional way. I'll be making it
tomorrow. Probably. This morning I saw Fox News doing a oatmeal pancake
from a restaurant named "Jack and Jill" where the ***stars*** eat their
breakfast, so the owner said.
I think I'll make it tomorrow morning. He made it on an electric grill. My
large electric skillet's legs broke off (I laughed when it happened, it was
so silly looking) so I'm left to improvise making pancakes. Perhaps I'll
put them in in a smallish combo Pizzell/Waffle maker I have -- just have to
make up my mind on getting a 1-1/4" to 1-1/2" inch waffle maker.

Robert Benson, chef and owner of Jack n' Jill's restaurants in the Los
Angeles area, shows us how to prepare delicious and easy brunch treat!

"Thus Spake Zarathustra" is speaking:
I should've/could've trimmed my last posting, but forgot in my enthusiasm.
Else I will get 'taken to task.' (Another Hated phrase?)
