Ingredients:

Serving

1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
1 (10 oz) package frozen spinach, thawed and drained, chopped
1/2 lb feta cheese
6 oz cottage cheese
3 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 lb phyllo pastry sheet

Crumble Feta cheese into small pieces.
Add cottage cheese and eggs; mix well.
Toss bread crumbs into spinach mixture and add to cheese. Stir until blended.
Carefully cut phyllo sheets into thirds. Refrigerate 2/3 until needed and cover remaining third with a slightly damp towel.

Place 1 tablespoon of spinach filling near the end.
Fold over in triangle shape. Continue folding like a flag, keeping triangular shape. Lightly butter top.
