Feta Cheese, Spinach, & Mushroom Phyllo Triangles

A while back I had a Spinach and Cheese Piadini from Starbucks, but they discontinued it. It was one of my favorite breakfast pastries and I decided to create my own breakfast pastry with a twist. 




Breakfast Phyllo Triangles


  • 1 lb                      Pre-made phyllo dough (defrosted in the refrigerator)
  • 1 1/2  lbs            frozen spinach 
  • 2  large               portobello mushrooms
  • 1/3  cup              chopped yellow onions
  • 1/2 tbsp.             chopped garlic
  • 1 cup(2 sticks)   butter
  • 3  large               eggs
  • 1  cup                  feta cheese
  • 3 tbsp                 olive oil
  • Salt, pepper, garlic powder


One by one.

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Cook the frozen spinach in the microwave as the package instructs. Allow to cool. Squeeze out water completely. Set aside to cool.
  3. Slice the portobello mushroom into 1 inch slices. Chop 1/3 cup of onions. Combine with mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Chop the peeled garlic cloves and set aside.
  4. Heat a medium-large pan with olive oil. Cook the mushrooms and onions until the onion are translucent. Add the garlic half way through the cooking process. Set aside to cool.
  5. Mix feta cheese, spinach, mushroom, and onions. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. 
  6. Add eggs to moisten the mixture.
  7. Unroll Phyllo dough onto a large cutting board. Place a sheet of wax paper to cover the dough. Place a damp paper towel on top of the wax paper to keep the phyllo dough from drying out.
  8. Melt the butter in the microwave for 1 minute, mix then add 30 seconds. Repeat until fully melted.
  9. Cut the phyllo dough into three sections horizontally. 
  10. Lightly brush one side of a double sheet of phyllo dough. Scoop a tablespoon of the mixture onto an end of the sheet. Fold over the mixture into a triangle and continue to wrap. Brush the wrapped triangle with butter. How to wrap phyllo triangles
  11. Bake the phyllo dough on a baking sheet until the triangles are golden brown about 15- 25 minutes.
