This is one of the easiest recipes that I have made in the air fryer.
Which is great, because they look so complicated. I will be bringing these to a party, the next time I go. I will probably be making them for lunch a lot since my kids gobbled them up.
And, they have green leafy vegetables in them, so what mom wouldn’t serve them?
This was definitely a keeper for the go-to appetizer, the premade shells really quickened up the cooking time.
It has all of the traditional ingredients of a Spanakopita, spinach, feta, egg, but without the rolling of the phyllo dough and the work of it.
I hope you and yours enjoy!
First, you want to drain as much water out of the spinach as you can.
Then mix in the egg
Mix in the feta cheese.
Fill the phyllo cup with the mixture.
I put them in my muffin tin, which prevented flying around in the air fryer. (see the one I used in the things used below)
