Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pack puff pastry sheet
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 5 cups baby spinach, chopped
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 0.5 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
- 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled spinach mixture with the crumbled feta cheese, chopped Kalamata olives, and sun-dried tomatoes.
In a small bowl, beat 2 eggs and add them to the spinach mixture. Season with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Mix until well-combined.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Spoon the spinach mixture into the center of the puff pastry, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
Fold the edges of the puff pastry over the filling, creating a rustic, open-faced pie.
In a small bowl, beat the remaining egg with the milk to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the exposed edges of the pastry.
Sprinkle the pastry edges with sesame seeds, if desired.
Bake the Mediterranean pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
Allow the pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
