Ingredients
Scale
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
2 cups fresh spinach, finely chopped
3/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash) or water for vegan option
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment for easy removal.
- In a small skillet, warm the olive oil and sauté the garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool, then squeeze out excess moisture with a clean towel.
- In a bowl, mix the cooled spinach with feta, Parmesan, oregano, pepper, lemon zest (if using), and parsley. Taste and adjust for salt.
- Roll the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into 3×3 inch squares.
- Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each square. Brush the edges with the beaten egg wash. Fold into triangles by bringing opposite corners to meet in the center; press to seal and form a pocket.
- Arrange on the prepared sheet. Brush the tops with egg wash and, if desired, sprinkle a pinch of oregano or sesame seeds for extra aroma.
- Bake 12–15 minutes, until puffed and golden. Let them rest 5 minutes on the sheet before serving.
