Ingredients

Scale

1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed if frozen)

2 cups fresh spinach (or 1 cup frozen spinach

thawed and drained)

1 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/2 cup ricotta cheese (optional for creaminess)

1 small onion

finely chopped

2 cloves garlic

minced

1 egg (for egg wash)

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil (for sautéing)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat, then add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent.
Add the fresh spinach (or thawed frozen spinach) to the skillet and cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Let it cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach mixture with crumbled feta and ricotta cheese (if using).
Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface and cut into squares.
Place a spoonful of the spinach and cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square. Fold the pastry over and seal the edges with a fork.
Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.
Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For a twist, add herbs like dill or mint to the filling. These pastries can be made ahead of time and frozen, then baked directly from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
