Spinach and Feta Puffs

Ingredients:

  • 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves, chopped
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to flatten it slightly. Cut the puff pastry sheet into squares or rectangles, depending on your desired size for the puffs.
  4. Spoon a small amount of the spinach and feta mixture onto the center of each puff pastry square.
  5. Fold the puff pastry over the filling to create a triangle or rectangle shape, and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
  6. Place the filled puff pastry puffs onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of the puffs with the beaten egg for a golden and shiny finish.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the puffs are puffed up and golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the spinach and feta puffs cool for a few minutes before serving.
  9. Serve warm as a delicious appetizer or snack.
