Ingredients
- 2 sheets Reduced-fat puff pastry sheets
- 4 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 cup Reduced-fat feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 whole Egg white
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Mince the garlic and sauté it for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the fresh spinach to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 4
Once the spinach has cooled, squeeze out any excess liquid and chop it finely.
Step 5
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped spinach, reduced-fat feta cheese, and plain nonfat Greek yogurt. Add salt and black pepper, and mix well to form the filling.
Step 6
Unroll the reduced-fat puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares.
Step 7
Place approximately 1-2 tablespoons of the spinach-feta filling in the center of each square.
Step 8
Fold one corner of each square over the filling to form a triangle. Press the edges together with a fork to seal.
Step 9
Beat the egg white in a small bowl and brush it lightly over the tops of the croissants to help them turn golden brown during baking.
Step 10
Place the stuffed croissants on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffy.
Step 11
Remove the croissants from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
