Spinach & Feta Puff Pastry Squares

Spinach & Feta Puff Pastry Squares

Ingredients

• 2 sheets puff pastry (thawed if frozen)

• 300–400 g spinach (fresh or frozen)

• 200 g feta cheese, crumbled

• 1 egg (for filling)

• 1 egg yolk (for brushing on top)

• 1 small onion (optional), finely chopped

• 1–2 tbsp olive oil

• Salt & pepper, to taste

• Sesame seeds (optional, for topping)

Instructions

1. Prepare the spinach

   • If using fresh spinach: sauté it with olive oil (and onion if using) until wilted.

   • If using frozen spinach: thaw it and squeeze out all excess water.

   • Let it cool slightly.

2. Make the filling

   • In a bowl, mix spinach, feta, 1 egg, salt, and pepper.

   • Taste and adjust seasoning (feta is salty, so go easy).

3. Assemble

   • Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F).

   • Place one sheet of puff pastry on a baking tray lined with parchment.

   • Spread the filling evenly, leaving a small border around the edges.

   • Place the second puff pastry sheet on top.

   • Press edges with a fork to seal.

4. Cut & brush

   • Lightly score the top into squares (don’t cut all the way through).

   • Brush with egg yolk.

   • Sprinkle sesame seeds if you like.

5. Bake

   • Bake for 25–30 minutes, until golden and puffed.

6. Cool & serve

   • Let it cool a little, then cut fully into squares.
