Description

These delightful bites are perfect for any gathering, combining flaky puff pastry with a savory spinach and feta filling. They’re easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (17.3 ounces) frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the squeezed-dry spinach, crumbled feta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and black pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly distributed.
  3. Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheets onto a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 9 equal squares.
  4. Place about a tablespoon of the spinach and feta mixture into the center of each puff pastry square.
  5. Fold the puff pastry squares in half diagonally to form triangles, or bring the four corners to the center, pinching to seal. Ensure the filling is enclosed.
  6. Place the assembled bites onto the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Brush the tops of the bites with the beaten egg wash for a golden finish.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is puffed up, golden brown, and flaky.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure the spinach is very well squeezed to avoid a soggy bottom.
  • You can add a pinch of nutmeg to the filling for an extra layer of flavor.
  • These can be made ahead and reheated before serving.
