Ingredients

Instructions

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

  2. In a large skillet, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic over medium heat until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach mixture with crumbled feta, Parmesan cheese, dill, and parsley. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

  5. On a lightly floured surface, unfold the thawed puff pastry sheets and cut each sheet into 9 equal squares, for a total of 18 squares.

  6. Place a spoonful of the spinach and cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square.

  7. Fold the corners of the pastry squares over the filling, creating a triangle shape. Press the edges together with a fork to seal.

  8. Transfer the assembled spinach puffs to the prepared baking sheet.

  9. Brush the tops of the spinach puffs with beaten egg for a golden finish.

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

  11. Remove from the oven and let the spinach puffs cool slightly before serving.

  12. Enjoy these delicious Greek Spinach Puffs warm or at room temperature as a delectable snack or appetizer.
