A delightful dish that perfectly marries the vibrant flavor of fresh spinach and creamy cheese, all enveloped in a flaky, golden pastry shell. Each bite offers a satisfying crunch that gives way to a warm, savory filling.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 package (about 17.3 ounces) puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
10 ounces (about 10 cups, packed) fresh spinach
1 cup ricotta cheese
½ cup feta cheese (crumbled)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (beaten) egg (for egg wash)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, ricotta cheese, feta cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut into squares approximately 4x4 inches.
Place a generous spoonful of the spinach filling in the center of each pastry square. Fold the corners over to create a triangle and press to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for an extra seal.
Brush the tops of the pastries with the beaten egg to give them a beautiful golden color while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are p￭ and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as a delightful finger food!
