Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g frozen spinach
- 2 puff pastry sheets
- 225 g cream cheese
- 100 g feta cheese
- 50 g grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 eggs
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 0.25 tsp nutmeg
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tbsp water (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease a medium-sized casserole dish and set aside.
Thaw the frozen spinach completely and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the spinach and cook for another 2 minutes until any remaining moisture has evaporated.
Remove the skillet from heat and let it cool slightly. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, feta cheese, Parmesan cheese, and eggs. Mix until smooth.
Add the sautéed spinach mixture, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir well until fully incorporated.
Roll out one puff pastry sheet and place it at the bottom of the greased casserole dish, letting the edges hang over the side.
Spoon the spinach mixture evenly over the puff pastry base.
Roll out the second puff pastry sheet and lay it over the filling. Press the edges of the top and bottom layers of pastry together and trim any excess.
Whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the top of the puff pastry with the egg wash to ensure a golden, glossy finish.
Using a sharp knife, cut a few small slits in the top layer of the pastry to allow steam to escape while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Slice and serve warm. Enjoy your Spinach in Puff Pastry Casserole!
