Description
Delicious spinach and feta stuffed in flaky puff pastry triangles, perfect for appetizers or snacks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 package (17.3 ounces) frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash, optional)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, feta cheese, ricotta cheese, green onions, garlic, dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out one sheet of puff pastry to smooth out creases. Cut the pastry into squares, approximately 4 inches by 4 inches.
- Place a tablespoon of the spinach and cheese mixture in the center of each square. Fold the pastry over to form a triangle and press the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
- If using, brush the tops of the triangles with the beaten egg for a golden finish. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired.
- Arrange the triangles on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For a vegan option, substitute the feta and ricotta with plant-based cheese alternatives and omit the egg wash.
- Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes or olives to the filling for an extra burst of flavor.
