spinach, feta & green onion bread bitesspinach, feta & green onion bread bites

Usually, I use spinach and feta cheese  for making those little greek spanakopita triangles, a type of soft cheese and egg filling to which you add some cooked vegetables and wrap up in sheets of buttered filo dough (a simple recipe but requiring a longer preparation that you can see here).

In the meantime, you can quickly whip these relatively simple little bread bites up instead…
