Spinach Stuffed Pastry

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven:
    • Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the filling:
    • In a skillet, sauté onion and garlic in a little olive oil until soft.
    • Add spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
    • In a bowl, mix spinach mixture with feta, ricotta, egg, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
  3. Assemble pastries:
    • Roll out puff pastry and cut into squares (about 4–5 inches).
    • Place 1–2 tbsp of filling in the center of each square.
    • Fold over into triangles or rectangles and seal edges by pressing with a fork.
  4. Bake:
    • Brush pastries with beaten egg.
    • Bake 20–25 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
  5. Serve:
    • Enjoy warm as a snack, appetizer, or light meal!

💡 Tips & Variations

  • Add extras: Sautéed mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, or cooked bacon bits can enhance the filling.
  • Cheese swap: Use mozzarella, goat cheese, or Parmesan for different flavors.
  • Make ahead: Fill pastries, freeze on a baking sheet, then bake directly from frozen (add 5–10 minutes to baking time).

If you want, I can also give you a mini spinach and cheese puff pastry bites version — perfect for parties or finger food!
