Ingredients

• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
• 200 grams Feta cheese
• 100 grams Cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
• 1 clove Garlic clove
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1 pinch Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Take the puff pastry sheets out of the freezer and let them thaw until pliable, about 10 minutes.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the feta cheese and cream cheese. Mash them together with a fork until smooth.

Step 4

Finely chop the parsley and dill, and mince the garlic clove. Add them to the cheese mixture, followed by olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Lightly dust your work surface with flour and roll out each puff pastry sheet, if needed, to ensure they are smooth and even.

Step 6

Cut each puff pastry sheet into 8 equal squares, for a total of 16 squares.

Step 7

Place a small spoonful of the feta mixture in the center of each square.

Step 8

Fold the corners of each square toward the center, pinching them together to seal the filling inside and creating a small pouch or envelope shape.

Step 9

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.

Step 10

Brush the tops of each puff pastry pouch with the egg wash to ensure golden, shiny tops once baked.

Step 11

Place the prepared appetizers on the lined baking tray, leaving some space between them to allow for puffing during baking.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crisp.

Step 13

Remove the appetizers from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes on the baking tray before transferring them to a serving platter.

Step 14

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy these delightful feta cheese appetizers!
