Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet low-carb puff pastry sheet
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup feta cheese
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Mince the garlic and sauté it in the olive oil for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted. This should take about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, feta cheese, softened cream cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
Roll out the low-carb puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface, if needed, and cut it into 4 equal squares.
Place a generous spoonful of the spinach and feta filling in the center of each pastry square.
Fold each square into a triangle (or desired shape), and crimp the edges with a fork to seal them properly.
Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush the top of each pastry with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
