Ingredients

• 2 pieces puff pastry sheets
• 200 grams fresh spinach
• 150 grams feta cheese
• 100 grams ricotta cheese
• 3 large eggs
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 large egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Defrost the puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions if using frozen puff pastry.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 5

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, crumbled feta cheese, 2 beaten eggs, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.

Step 6

Once the spinach has cooled, squeeze out any excess water and chop it finely. Add the spinach to the cheese mixture and stir until well combined.

Step 7

On a lightly floured surface, roll out each puff pastry sheet if needed to smooth the edges. Cut each sheet into 3 equal rectangles.

Step 8

Place a heaping spoonful of the spinach and feta mixture onto one half of each rectangle. Fold the other half over the filling and seal the edges by pressing with a fork.

Step 9

Transfer the pastries to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

In a small bowl, whisk the remaining egg with 1 tablespoon of milk to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the pastries with the egg wash for a glossy finish.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your high-protein spinach and feta puff pastry!
