Ingredients
- 300 grams Frozen spinach
- 200 grams Cottage cheese
- 50 grams Feta cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 2 pieces Puff pastry sheets
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Thaw the frozen spinach and squeeze out excess water. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the spinach, cottage cheese, feta cheese, egg, oregano, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix well until the filling is evenly combined.
Step 3
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets if needed to increase their size slightly. Cut each sheet into 8 squares.
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 5
Place a heaping tablespoon of the spinach and cottage cheese filling onto the center of each pastry square.
Step 6
Fold the pastry squares diagonally to form triangles, pressing the edges together firmly to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative effect.
Step 7
Place the mini pies on the prepared baking tray, leaving some space between them.
Step 8
In a small bowl, mix the milk and olive oil together to make an egg wash substitute. Brush the tops of the pies with this mixture to help them brown during baking.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden and crisp.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. These pies are delicious both warm and at room temperature.
