Instructions

Thaw phyllo in its sealed package as directed, usually overnight under refrigeration; this prerequisite is not included in the 75-minute active clock. Heat oven to 375°F and line two baking sheets. Squeeze 10 oz thawed spinach firmly in a clean towel until little liquid comes out.
Mix spinach with 6 oz crumbled feta, 2 finely chopped scallions, 2 tbsp dill, 1 tsp lemon zest and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Keep thawed phyllo under a lightly damp clean towel between uses so sheets do not dry out. Melt 1/3 cup unsalted butter.
Work with two phyllo sheets at a time, brushing a thin film of butter between them. Cut the pair lengthwise into three long strips. Put roughly 1 tbsp filling at one end of each strip and fold a corner over the filling, continuing in flag-like triangles to the end. Brush outer surface lightly. Eight two-sheet pairs make about 24 triangles; distribute across lined sheets.
Bake at 375°F approximately 20–25 minutes, rotating sheets if the oven browns unevenly, until phyllo is deep golden and crisp and the filling is hot. Let stand five minutes before serving. Test whether the specified spinach filling precisely covers 24 strips and adjust the measured scoop only after a trial.
