Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 25 minutes.
Step 3
Add sausage to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir with a spatula, breaking apart sausage until cooked, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium. Add spinach, green onions, and red pepper flakes. Continue cooking until spinach is thawed, 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 4
Remove from the heat and stir in ricotta cheese and feta cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 5
Unwrap phyllo dough and cover with a damp towel to keep from drying out.
Step 6
Working one sheet at a time, brush 1/2 of the sheet with melted butter. Fold in half lengthwise. Place 1/4 to 1/2 cup of filling in top-left corner. Fold bottom-left corner over into a triangle shape. Continue folding edge over edge to end of dough, and a triangle is formed. Place triangle on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Step 7
Brush triangles with melted butter.
