Ingredients

• 1 sheet (store-bought or homemade, thawed) dairy-free puff pastry
• 4 cups fresh spinach
• 1 cup dairy-free feta cheese (crumbled)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg (ground)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened plant-based milk (e.g., almond, oat, or soy)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet in batches. Stir and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the cooked spinach to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out any excess moisture to prevent the pastry from becoming soggy.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the drained spinach, dairy-free feta cheese, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form the filling.

Step 6

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet to smooth out any creases. Cut it into 6 equal rectangles.

Step 7

Place a spoonful of the spinach and feta mixture onto one half of each rectangle, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 8

Brush the edges of the pastry rectangles with plant-based milk. Fold the empty half of the rectangle over the filling to form a pocket. Press the edges together with a fork to seal.

Step 9

Transfer the pastries to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with more plant-based milk for a golden finish.

Step 10

Using a sharp knife, cut a small slit or two on top of each pastry to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed up.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
