About this recipe
Spinach puff pastry pockets are a baked snack with feta, garlic, and crisp pastry. Briefly sautéing the spinach removes excess moisture so the filling does not make the puff pastry soggy. Feta adds a salty, bold flavor, while garlic enhances the savory filling. Press the pocket edges firmly with a fork so the filling stays inside during baking. This recipe works well as a warm puff pastry snack for a gathering or a quick meal.
Ingredients
275 g chilled puff pastry, a sheet about 25 × 40 cm
150 g spinach
60 g feta cheese
1 egg
1 garlic clove
1 tablespoon olive oil
Steps
Preheat a conventional oven (no fan) to 200°C and position a rack in the middle. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, add the spinach and finely chopped garlic, and cook for 3–4 minutes, until the spinach wilts and its liquid evaporates. Let cool.
Mix the cooled spinach with the crumbled feta.
Divide the cold pastry sheet into eight equal rectangles. Divide the filling into eight portions and place on one half of each rectangle, leaving a clean border. Fold the other half over and firmly seal the edges with a fork.
Brush the pockets with beaten egg and bake for 15–18 minutes on a parchment-lined baking sheet, until the pastry has puffed and is evenly golden.
