Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 300 grams Frozen spinach
- 200 grams Feta cheese
- 100 grams Ricotta cheese
- 1 Large egg
- 0.5 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 1 Egg yolk
- 1 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Thaw puff pastry sheets according to package instructions.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
In a large bowl, mix thawed and drained spinach with crumbled feta cheese, ricotta cheese, and 1 beaten large egg.
Season the mixture with nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Roll out each puff pastry sheet on a floured surface to smoothen out any creases.
Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares.
Place about 2-3 tablespoons of filling in the center of each square.
Fold the square into a triangle by bringing opposite corners together and sealing the edges by pressing with a fork.
Place borekas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolk and water to create an egg wash.
Brush the top of each boreka with the egg wash to ensure they brown nicely.
Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of each pastry for added flavor and texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and puffy.
Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
