Ingredients

• 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• 1 cup feta cheese
• 1 medium onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Thaw the puff pastry sheets at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes if frozen.

Step 3

Chop the onion finely and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring occasionally until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 6

In a bowl, crumble the feta cheese and mix it with the cooled spinach mixture. Add chopped dill, salt, and black pepper, stirring until well combined.

Step 7

Roll out each puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to remove any creases.

Step 8

Cut each sheet into 9 squares by slicing 3 vertical and 3 horizontal lines, making 18 squares total.

Step 9

Place a tablespoon of the spinach and feta filling onto the center of each square.

Step 10

Fold each square into a triangle by bringing one corner over to the opposite corner, press down to seal the edges using a fork.

Step 11

Beat the egg in a small bowl, and lightly brush over each folded pastry.

Step 12

Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of each pastry for added flavor and texture.

Step 13

Transfer the stuffed pastries onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 14

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

Step 15

Allow pastries to cool slightly before serving warm as an appetizer or snack. Enjoy!
