Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 250 grams Frozen spinach
- 100 grams Feta cheese
- 100 grams Cream cheese
- 50 grams Black olives
- 1 piece Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thaw the frozen spinach and squeeze out any excess water completely. Set aside.
Finely chop the garlic and heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the garlic for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the thawed spinach to the pan, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for 3–4 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, crumbled feta cheese, cream cheese, and chopped black olives. Mix well until fully combined.
Lightly dust your work surface with flour and roll out each puff pastry sheet to smoothen it. Cut each sheet into four equal squares, yielding a total of eight squares.
Place a heaping tablespoon of the spinach-olive-cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square.
Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle, sealing the edges by pressing them together with a fork.
Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the tops of the pastries for a golden finish.
Transfer the pastries to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
Allow the pastries to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
