Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup green onions, chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 package (15 oz) phyllo pastry dough

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin.

    In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, cream cheese, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, green onions, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended and smooth.

      On a clean surface, unroll the phyllo pastry dough. Cut it into squares large enough to fit into your muffin tin cups (about 4 inches on each side).

        Layer the phyllo squares in each cup of the muffin tin, brushing each layer lightly with the beaten egg to help adhere the layers together. Use about 3-4 squares per cup.

          Spoon about a tablespoon of the spinach dip mixture into each phyllo cup.

            Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.

              Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
