Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Frozen puff pastry sheets
- 200 grams Fresh spinach
- 120 grams Cream cheese
- 100 grams Feta cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
Thaw the frozen puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the spinach and roughly chop it if needed. Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat, then add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the spinach to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Allow it to cool slightly, then squeeze out any excess liquid.
In a medium bowl, mix the cooked spinach, cream cheese, crumbled feta cheese, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Stir until well combined.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets and cut each sheet into 4 equal-sized squares.
Place a heaping tablespoon of the spinach mixture in the center of each square. Fold the squares diagonally to form triangles, and gently press the edges with a fork to seal.
Beat the egg in a small bowl and lightly brush it over the top of each pastry to encourage browning.
Place the filled pastries on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastries are puffed up and golden brown.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
