Combine the cooled spinach mixture with feta, eggs and salt and pepper. Set aside. Stack 6 sheets of phyllo on top of each other. Cut into 5 equal strips. Work with 1 pile of phyllo at a time. Wrap remaining phyllo up in tea towel . Brush 1 strip with butter and cover with a second strip and butter again.* Note if using a thicker kind of phyllo use only one sheet per triangle. Lay strip down vertically in front of you. Spoon a heaping teaspoon of filling in bottom corner of strip and fold over in half diagonally creating a triangle. Continue folding over into triangular shape until you reach end of strip. Repeat with remaining strips. Brush tops with a little more olive oil. Place triangles on a baking sheet and bake at 375 D in middle rack of oven for about 20 minutes or until golden. Serve warm as appetizer or along with your main course.
