Ingredients
- 1 sheet rolled puff pastry Notes 1, 2
- 5.5 oz fresh spinach 150 g, Notes 3, 4
- 2 thin spring onions
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2.5 oz feta 75 g, Note 5
- ⅓ cup Parmesan, grated 1.2 oz/35 g, Note 6
- 1 tablespoon Dill chopped (fresh or frozen)
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1-2 teaspoons sesame seeds Note 7
Instructions
- Puff pastry: Remove from the fridge about 10 minutes before using it. If using frozen pastry, defrost (and roll if necessary) according to the package instructions.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit/ 200 degrees Celsius. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Vegetables: Wash and chop the spinach. Finely slice the onions and grate the garlic cloves but keep them separated.
- Cook: Heat the olive oil in a large pan. Cook the onions for 2 minutes, often stirring, until slightly golden. Add the garlic and stir for a few seconds. Add the spinach, salt, pepper, a few gratings of nutmeg. Stir for about 1 minute until the spinach wilts. Let cool for 2-3 minutes before adding the cheese.
- Combine: Crumble the feta with your hand, grate the Parmesan, chop the dill and add them to the spinach. Mix well.
- Cut triangles: Unroll the pastry on the working surface. Cut the pastry sheet into 8 even pieces.
- Fill parcels: Divide the spinach feta filling between the pastry pieces and press the filling with the spoon to spread it a little on the dough.
- Egg wash: Mix the egg and the milk in a small bowl. Brush the edges of the parcels with some of the egg wash.
- Form parcels: Fold the other side of the dough over the filling to make a triangle, pressing down gently to seal the edges. Crimp the edges with a fork. Carefully place the parcels on the baking tray.
- Brush them with egg wash and sprinkle them with sesame seeds.
- Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Rest on the baking tray for about 3 minutes, then transfer them carefully to a wire rack (use a spatula).
Notes
- From the supermarket’s refrigerator section, about 275/ 10 oz and about 25 cm/10 inches long, a bit more or less is fine.
- If using frozen puff pastry, defrost it according to the package instructions and roll, if necessary.
- I used baby spinach and only removed the extra-long stems. If using mature spinach, remove the thick stems and weigh the spinach after removing those.
- Frozen spinach can be used instead, roughly 100 g/ 3.5 oz. Defrost it and squeeze it well to remove the excess water.
- Feta from a block of cheese in brine, not pre-crumbled. You can use Greek, Bulgarian, Turkish, goat, sheep or cow feta, whatever you like.
- Parmesan from a block of cheese, not already grated.
- White or black sesame seeds. Or some Nigella seeds.
