Ingredients

  • 4  oz tomato-basil feta cheese, finely crumbled (1 cup)
  • 2  tablespoons finely chopped green onions
  • 1  egg, well beaten
  • 1  can (8 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
  • 1  tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 375°F. In small bowl, mix feta cheese, green onions and 3 tablespoons of the beaten egg.

  2. Do not unroll dough; separate long roll into 2 shorter rolls at center perforations. Unroll 1 roll until 1 rectangle can be separated from roll. Refrigerate remaining dough. Press dough into 7 1/2x5-inch rectangle, pressing diagonal perforations to seal. Cut rectangle into 6 (2 1/2-inch) squares.

  3. Top each dough square with slightly rounded measuring teaspoon feta cheese mixture. Fold dough over filling, forming triangle; press edges to seal. On ungreased cookie sheets, place triangles 2 inches apart. Repeat with remaining 3 dough rectangles and feta cheese mixture.

  4. Brush tops with remaining beaten egg. Sprinkle lightly with Parmesan cheese.

  5. Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

These are great just as written, but sometimes I add a box of frozen spinach, thawed & squeezed dry in paper towels, to the cheese. Yum, very similar to Spanikopita!
