Ingredients

For the Filling

1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
200 g fresh spinach (or use frozen, thawed & drained)
Salt and pepper to taste
100 g feta cheese, crumbled
50 g mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 egg for egg wash

Instructions

Preparation

Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until soft.
Stir in garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
Add spinach and sauté until wilted (if using fresh). Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Mix in crumbled feta and shredded mozzarella into the spinach mixture.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet and cut into squares (around 8–10 depending on size).
Spoon a bit of the spinach-cheese filling into the center of each square.
Fold corners slightly toward the center or leave open for a rustic look.
Brush the edges lightly with beaten egg.

Baking

Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden and puffed.

Notes

Serve warm with a side of Greek yogurt or a garlic dipping sauce. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat. Great for brunch tables, lunchboxes, or make-ahead appetizers!
