 Directions

In 2-quart saucepan over medium heat, in 1 tbs butter, cook onion until

Melt remaining butter. Brush 1 strip phyllo lighly with butter. Place 1
heaping teaspoon spinach filling at end of strip. Fold one corner of strip
diagonally over filling, forming a right angle. Continue folding. Place,

with foil and refrigerate.

To serve, preheat oven to 425 F. Bake 15 minutes or until golden. Makes 45

between layers. To serve, preheat oven to 425 F. Remove pastries; place
in jelly-roll pan; bake frozen pastries 20 minutes or until golden.

NOTES : Can be frozen. Phyllo sheets dry out very quickly. Keep covered
