Greek spanakopita inspired spinach feta puffs
Method:
For Filling:
- Melt olive oil/butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until tender. Add (frozen/ fresh chopped) spinach and cook until the liquid evaporates, stirring constantly. Add salt, pepper and spices to taste. Set aside.
You may use leftover palak matar for filling too.
- Prepare the puff pastry sheets according to instructions (I used Pepperridge Farm for this recipe) : Bring a sheet to room temperature for 40 mins or until soft. Lay it on a clean, lightly floured cutting board. Cut into rectangles and brush egg wash (1 beaten egg + garlic powder).
- Spoon about 1 tsp spinach filling, minced onions, and crumbled feta on each rectangle. Fold the pastry in half (into triangle or rectangle). You may crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
- Brush the egg wash one more time over the pastries on both sides.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes in pre-heated oven at 400 F or until golden brown.
