Greek Spinach Puffs
Ingredients:
– 1 package frozen puff pastry, thawed
– 10 oz fresh spinach, chopped
– 1 small onion, finely diced
– 3 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
– 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
– 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
– 1/4 tsp nutmeg
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
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.
