Made with fresh spinach, low-salt white cheese and strained yogurt, these oven-baked mini pastries are a soft, nourishing snack for your 2-year-old. They bake gently in the oven instead of frying, and are served warm in age-appropriate small pieces.

Ingredients

• • 2 piece Phyllo (yufka) sheets
• • 50 g Fresh spinach (finely chopped)
• • 120 g White cheese (low-salt)
• • 2 tbsp Strained yogurt
• • 1 piece Egg
• • 2 tbsp Olive oil

Directions

1. 1

   Wash and finely chop the spinach; wilt it in a pan with a few drops of olive oil for 1-2 minutes, drain off the released liquid well and let it cool.

2. 2

   Mash the white cheese in a bowl with a fork (if it is salty, soak it in warm water for 10 minutes and drain to reduce the salt). Mix in the strained yogurt, the cooled spinach and half of 1 egg; set the other half aside for brushing.

3. 3

   Cut the phyllo into small strips or triangles. Place a little spinach filling at the end of each piece and roll it into a small roll or fold into a triangle.

4. 4

   Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Mix the reserved egg with a few drops of olive oil and brush it over the pastries.

5. 5

   Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C for about 20-25 minutes, until the tops turn lightly golden.

6. 6

   Take them out and let them cool; before serving, make sure they are lukewarm and not too hot.

7. 7

   Serve to your 2-year-old in age-appropriate small pieces, seated and under your supervision. If it is the first time, start with a small portion.
