Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole frozen puff pastry sheets
- 300 grams fresh spinach
- 150 grams feta cheese
- 100 grams cottage cheese
- 200 grams chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion
- 3 whole garlic cloves
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to package instructions.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil.
Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add chicken breast pieces to the skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper, and cook until no longer pink.
Add fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat. Let it cool slightly, then transfer contents to a large bowl.
Crumble the feta cheese and add it to the bowl along with cottage cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Stir until combined.
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut each sheet into 4 equal squares.
Place about 2 tablespoons of the spinach and feta mixture onto one side of each puff pastry square.
Fold the pastry over the filling to form triangles or rectangles and press edges to seal.
Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the top of each pastry.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the egg-washed pastries.
Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your high protein savory spinach and feta stuffed pastries warm or at room temperature.
