Ingredients

Instructions

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

  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and minced garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Season with dried oregano, salt, and pepper to taste. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

  4. Once the spinach mixture has cooled, stir in the crumbled feta cheese until well combined.

  5. On a lightly floured surface, unfold the thawed puff pastry sheets. Using a rolling pin, gently roll out the pastry to smooth out any creases.

  6. Cut the puff pastry sheets into even squares or rectangles, depending on your preference for the size of the stuffed pastries.

  7. Spoon a generous amount of the spinach and feta mixture onto one half of each pastry square, leaving a small border around the edges.

  8. Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling to create a triangular shape. Use a fork to crimp the edges of the pastry to seal the filling inside.

  9. Place the filled pastries on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds for an extra crunch and flavor.

  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.

  11. Remove from the oven and allow the Spinach and Feta Stuffed Pastries to cool slightly before serving.
