Ingredients
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 small onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
1 teaspoon sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning (optional)
Instruction
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion until soft, then add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Mix the cooked spinach with the feta cheese, mozzarella, oregano, black pepper, and salt if needed.
Unfold the puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface.
Spread the spinach and cheese mixture evenly over the pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
Fold the pastry into a rectangle or roll it gently, then cut into triangles.
Arrange the triangles on the prepared baking tray.
Brush each triangle with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning if desired.
Bake for 20–25 minutes or until puffed and deeply golden.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Method
Cook the vegetables first to remove excess moisture.
Cool the filling before adding it to the pastry to keep the dough flaky.
Seal the pastry edges gently to prevent the filling from escaping.
Bake until the pastry is crisp, golden, and fully cooked through.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
