Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Frozen puff pastry sheets
- 300 grams Fresh spinach
- 200 grams Feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
- 2 large Eggs, beaten
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg, grated
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Wash the spinach thoroughly, then chop it coarsely and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach mixture, crumbled feta cheese, chopped dill and parsley, beaten eggs, grated nutmeg, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to combine.
Unroll one sheet of puff pastry onto the prepared baking tray. Spoon the spinach and feta mixture evenly over the pastry, leaving a 2-centimeter (1-inch) border around the edges.
Place the second sheet of puff pastry over the filling, pressing the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
Brush the top of the pastry lightly with beaten egg, and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
Using a sharp knife, make a few small slits in the top of the pastry to allow steam to escape while baking.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Allow the pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Spinach and Feta Puff Pie!
