Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté until the onion is translucent.
- Add the chopped Swiss chard to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked Swiss chard mixture, crumbled feta cheese, beaten egg, dill, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Lay one sheet of phyllo pastry on a clean surface and brush lightly with olive oil. Place another sheet on top and brush again. Cut the layered phyllo into 3 strips lengthwise.
- Place a tablespoon of the filling at one end of each strip. Fold the corner over to form a triangle, then continue folding the triangle along the strip until you reach the end. Brush the edges with olive oil to seal.
- Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling.
- Place the triangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with olive oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if using.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
