INGREDIENTS

1 1/4 lb Spinach, fresh stemmed and
washed
1 T Olive oil
3 Scallions, trimmed and
chopped 1-1/2 c
1/4 c Feta cheese, crumbled
2 T Parmesan cheese, freshly

2 T Dill, fresh chopped
1 T Lemon juice
Salt & pepper, to taste
2 Egg whites
8 Phyllo dough sheets, 14×18"
1 Egg white
2 T Olive oil
1/4 t Salt
1 t Poppy or sesame seeds, or a
combination

INSTRUCTIONS

To make filling: Put spinach with water still clinging to the leaves
in a large pot. Cover and cook over medium heat until the spinach is
wilted, about 5 minutes. Drain and refresh with cold water. Squeeze
the spinach quite dry and chop. In nonstick skillet, heat oil over
medium heat. Add scallions and saute until softened, 2 to 3 minutes.
Transfer to a medium-sized bowl and stir in spinach, feta, Parmesan,
dill and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Beat egg whites
lightly with a fork and stir into the spinach mixture.  To form phyllo
rolls: Set oven rack on the upper level; preheat to 350  degrees F.
Coat a baking sheet lightly with nonstick cooking spray or  line with
parchment paper. In a small bowl, whisk together egg white,  oil and
salt. Lay one sheet of phyllo on a work surface with a short  side
toward you. Brush lower half of the sheet with the egg-white  mixture.
Repeat this step with a second sheet of phyllo and set on  top of the
first. Spoon one-quarter of the spinach filling along one  long edge.
Tuck in the side edges and roll up, jelly-roll fashion.  Place on the
prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining phyllo,  egg-white
mixture and filling, making 4 rolls in all. Brush tops of  the rolls
lightly with the egg-mixture and sprinkle with seeds, if  desired. Bake
for 25 to 30 minutes. With a serrated knife, cut each  roll diagonally
into 9 pieces and serve hot.  The rolls may be prepared, baked and
sliced up to 2 days in advance.  Reheat in a 350 degree F oven for 10
to 12 minutes, or until heated  through. Makes 36    appetizers.  39
