Ingredients

• 2 sheets frozen puff pastry sheets
• 300 grams fresh spinach
• 150 grams feta cheese, crumbled
• 100 grams ricotta cheese
• 50 grams parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to package instructions.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2 more minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 5

In a large bowl, combine the spinach mixture with feta cheese, ricotta cheese, and parmesan cheese. Mix well.

Step 6

Stir in the egg, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Step 7

On a lightly floured surface, roll out each puff pastry sheet into a rectangle about 12 by 10 inches.

Step 8

Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares.

Step 9

Place a generous spoonful of the spinach and cheese mixture into the center of each square.

Step 10

Using a brush, apply a bit of beaten egg around the edges of each pastry square to create an egg wash.

Step 11

Fold each square into a triangle, forming turnovers. Press the edges with a fork to seal thoroughly.

Step 12

Transfer the pastries to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 13

Brush the tops of the pastries with the remaining beaten egg.

Step 14

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

Step 15

Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your spinach and cheese pastries warm!
