Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets dairy-free puff pastry sheets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 250 grams fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 150 grams dairy-free feta cheese
- 100 grams dairy-free cream cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg, ground
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the chopped spinach to the pan and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked spinach, dairy-free feta cheese, dairy-free cream cheese, nutmeg, black pepper, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Roll out the dairy-free puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 8 even squares, making a total of 16 squares.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the spinach filling onto the center of each pastry square.
Fold each square into a triangle by bringing one corner over to the opposite corner. Press edges together with a fork to seal.
Place the bourekas on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with unsweetened almond milk and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and puffy.
Allow bourekas to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
