The guide showcases colorful drawings of each ingredient: a package of puff pastry, fresh spinach, crumbled feta cheese, a chopped onion, minced garlic cloves, a bottle of olive oil, dried dill, nutmeg, and an egg for egg washIngredients:
1 package of frozen puff pastry, thawed
2 cups of fresh spinach, chopped
1 cup of crumbled feta cheese
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 teaspoon of dried dill
1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
Salt and pepper to taste
1 egg, beaten for egg wash
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent and fragrant.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until just wilted. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
In a bowl, combine the wilted spinach mixture, feta cheese, dill, nutmeg, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry. Cut into squares or circles, depending on your preference.
Spoon a small amount of the spinach and feta mixture into the center of each pastry piece.
Fold the pastry over the filling to create a pocket. Seal the edges with a fork to give a decorative edge and to ensure the filling stays inside.
Brush each puff with the beaten egg, ensuring a golden shine once baked.
Place the puffs on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown.
Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. They’re best enjoyed warm!
Serving Suggestions:
These spinach and feta puffs are versatile and can be served as a classy addition to a brunch spread or as a savory snack at a cocktail party. Pair them with a crisp white wine or a light beer, and watch them disappear!
Tips:
Make ahead: These puffs can be assembled and kept in the fridge a day ahead, then baked just before serving.
Variations: Feel free to add chopped sun-dried tomatoes or olives into the mixture for an extra flavor twist.
