Ingredients

  • 2 sheets puff pastry (about 275 g each), thawed
  • 300 g fresh spinach
  • 200 g feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 small onion (about 80 g), finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (392°F).
  2. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until soft.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add spinach and cook for 2–3 minutes until wilted. Let cool slightly.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine the spinach mixture, crumbled feta, egg, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix well.
  6. Roll out the puff pastry sheets and cut each into 4 equal squares (8 total).
  7. Spoon filling into the center of each square. Fold over to form a pocket or triangle and press edges with a fork to seal.
  8. Mix egg yolk with milk and brush over the tops of the pastries.
  9. Place on a lined baking tray and bake for 18–22 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use frozen spinach (thawed and drained) as a substitute for fresh.
  • Add mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes, or olives for flavor variation.
  • Best served warm for a crisp texture.
  • For smaller party bites, cut puff pastry into smaller squares and reduce baking time.
  • Work with cold pastry for best puff and flakiness.
