Steps
1. Preheat the oven to 425° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.2. In a medium bowl, combine the spinach, dill, garlic, lemon zest, pepperoncini, brie, gouda, chili flakes, salt, and pepper.3. Place 1 sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and gently fold it in half crosswise. Brush the phyllo with a little olive oil around the edges. On the short end of the dough, add 1 rounded tablespoon of the spinach/brie mix. Fold one corner of the phyllo over the filling to form a triangle. Continue folding the dough, keeping it in a triangular shape as you fold down the phyllo (see photos for visuals). Place on the prepared baking sheet and repeat to make 12-16 rolls. 4. Brush the top of each phyllo roll with melted butter, then sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown on top. 5. Serve warm with honey and sea salt.

Ruth Collins on 2023-11-23 (4 stars): You weren't kidding about working with phyllo dough. My first two looked like I put them together while running through the kitchen, but then because it was my first g0-through, I cheated and used two sheets of phyllo dough on each triangle and then folded them in half lengthwise and voila, easier to deal with, stuff, and fold. Perhaps I will get better in time. Happy thanksgiving.

Taylor Sheehan on 2022-07-10 (5 stars): Such a hit for a summer appetizer! Enjoyed warm is the best! I subbed everything bagel seasoning instead of sesame seed topping and it was delicious.
Heidi Schnicker on 2022-05-31 (5 stars): Absolutely incredible! I made these for my book club (lots of older women) and they were a HUGE hit! One of the gals took the leftovers home for a gathering she was hosting two days later. Definitely making these again!
Kristie Vang on 2022-05-23 (4 stars): I had frozen phyllo pastry in the back of my freezer for a long time (2 years?) so what better way than to make this. I was able to use all my 18 phyllo sheets for this filling. One thing is to make sure you keep watch of them after 9-10 minutes in the oven as it will brown quickly. I prefer my triangles lighter and moist at 9 minutes. I did bake one batch for almost 20 minutes and they were really brown. Not quite burnt, thankfully. Otherwise, the flavor is good and the honey drizzle on top is a chef's kiss.
Shannon Dove on 2022-05-18 (5 stars): I made these for my book club - very tasty. I made them the night before and laid a damp tea towel over the triangles. But when I took the tea towel off, a lot of the phyllo dough stuck to the towel. But, even ripped, these still baked well.
