1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup finely chopped green onion
1 tub (8 oz) PHILADELPHIA Garden Vegetable Light Cream Cheese Spread
1 cup ATHENOS Traditional Crumbled Feta Cheese
1 pkg (10 oz.) frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained
9 sheets frozen phyllo sheets, thawed
1/3 cup butter, melted or cooking spray

MIX egg, onion, cream cheese spread, feta cheese and spinach until well blended. Set aside.
PLACE 1 of the phyllo sheets on a clean work surface. Brush with butter or spray with cooking spray. Top with 2 more sheets of phyllo, brushing more butter between each layer. Place remaining phyllo between sheets of plastic wrap and set aside.
SPREAD 1/3 of the spinach mixture along one end of the phyllo stack; fold in both sides, then roll up to make a log. Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets and spinach mixture to make 2 more logs. Brush with remaining butter or spray with additional cooking spray. To prevent phyllo from cracking, score log at 1-inch intervals.
PLACE unbaked logs in large freezer-weight resealable plastic bags or wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Freeze up to 3 months. Or, to bake immediately, place desired number of logs, seam sides down, on ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 375°F for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 5 minutes. Place on cutting board and cut each log into 10 slices with a serrated knife to serve.

Note
Remove logs from freezer and place in refrigerator for several hours to thaw. Then, bake and cut into slices as directed.

Leftover phyllo sheets can be wrapped tightly and refrozen.
