To make these Spinach and Feta Pastries, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 package (17.3 ounces) puff pastry, thawed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 egg, beaten
To start, preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until heated through. Remove from heat and stir in the feta cheese, parsley, dill, salt, and pepper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a large rectangle. Cut the pastry into 12 equal squares. Spoon the spinach and feta mixture onto each square, leaving a small border around the edges. Brush the edges with the beaten egg and fold the pastry over to form a triangle. Use a fork to crimp the edges and seal the pastries.
Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with the remaining egg wash. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown and puffed up. Serve warm or at room temperature.
These Spinach and Feta Pastries are a perfect appetizer for any occasion. They are crispy on the outside and filled with a delicious mixture of spinach, feta cheese, and herbs on the inside. The combination of flavors is simply irresistible, and your guests will be asking for the recipe.
