Ingredients
Scale
1 large head of cauliflower
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup spinach, chopped
1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
1 package of phyllo dough
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and slice it into thick steaks.
Brush both sides of the cauliflower steaks with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Place the cauliflower steaks on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
In a bowl, mix together the chopped spinach, feta cheese, ricotta cheese, and dill.
Lay out a sheet of phyllo dough, brush with olive oil, and layer another sheet on top.
Place a portion of the spinach and cheese mixture on one end of the phyllo and roll it up, sealing the edges.
Brush the tops of the spanakopita melts with the beaten egg.
Bake the spanakopita melts in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve the roasted cauliflower steaks with the spanakopita melts on the side.
Notes
For a vegan option, substitute the cheeses with plant-based alternatives.
Feel free to add other vegetables to the filling for added flavor.
Make sure to keep the phyllo dough covered with a damp cloth to prevent it from drying out.
