Ingredients
- 2 sheets Frozen puff pastry sheets
- 200 grams Fresh spinach
- 120 grams Cream cheese
- 100 grams Feta cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Thaw the frozen puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 3
Wash the spinach and roughly chop it if needed. Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat, then add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the spinach to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Allow it to cool slightly, then squeeze out any excess liquid.
Step 5
In a medium bowl, mix the cooked spinach, cream cheese, crumbled feta cheese, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Stir until well combined.
Step 6
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets and cut each sheet into 4 equal-sized squares.
Step 7
Place a heaping tablespoon of the spinach mixture in the center of each square. Fold the squares diagonally to form triangles, and gently press the edges with a fork to seal.
Step 8
Beat the egg in a small bowl and lightly brush it over the top of each pastry to encourage browning.
Step 9
Place the filled pastries on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastries are puffed up and golden brown.
Step 11
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
