Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package store-bought croissant dough
- 200 grams fresh spinach
- 150 grams feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse the spinach leaves thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Chop the spinach into small, bite-sized pieces.
Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the pan, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped spinach to the pan and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until wilted.
Remove the pan from the heat and crumble in the feta cheese, then mix until evenly combined.
Season the spinach and feta mixture with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Roll out the croissant dough on a clean surface and separate it into individual triangles.
Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the spinach and feta filling near the base of each croissant triangle.
Roll each triangle from base to tip, enclosing the filling, and shape into a crescent.
Arrange the filled croissants on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.
Brush the tops of the croissants with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake the croissants in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm.
