Savory Spinach & Cheese Stuffed Pastry Bites
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, cream cheese, feta cheese, Parmesan, minced garlic, and oregano.
- Season with salt and pepper, and mix well until the filling is smooth and evenly combined.
- Preheat and Prep
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Puff Pastry
- Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to ensure it’s even.
- Cut the sheet into 12 equal squares (approximately 3×3 inches each).
- Assemble the Pastry Bites
- Place a small dollop (about 1 teaspoon) of the spinach and cheese filling in the center of each square.
- Fold the corners of the pastry toward the center, pinching them together to seal the filling inside. Alternatively, fold into a triangle and press the edges closed with a fork.
- Add the Finishing Touches
- Place the assembled pastries on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush each pastry with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds or poppy seeds, if desired.
- Bake
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
