You might be wondering what a greek style dim sum is... Well, it's my take on a traditional Greek Tiropita and Spanakopita (cheese and spinach pie) simply shaping the phyllo pastry into a dim sum shape (I live in Asia after all)! I also used different ingredients to a traditional Greek cheese & spinach pie, and swapped spinach for my new favorite superfood: Kale. Now that I think of it, the only greek ingredient that remains in this recipe is the feta!!!
It's a super simple, quick and delicious recipe and it makes a perfect light bite when entertaining at home.
