Description
These irresistible pastry bites blend spinach, feta, and cream cheese into flaky puff pastry squares — ideal for parties, brunch, or snacking.
Ingredients
2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
2.5 oz (70g) fresh spinach
1 large handful of fresh parsley
2 cloves garlic
7 oz (200g) cream cheese
11.1 oz (315g) feta cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
2 handfuls almonds (optional, chopped)
1 egg, lightly beaten
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine spinach, parsley, and garlic. Pulse until finely chopped.
Add cream cheese, feta, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.
Add almonds and pulse a few times to incorporate (optional).
Roll out puff pastry and cut each sheet into even squares.
Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each square. Fold corners inward and press to seal.
Arrange on baking sheets. Brush tops with beaten egg.
Bake for 14 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
For a nut-free version, omit almonds.
Try dill or mint in place of parsley for variety.
Feta can be swapped with ricotta or goat cheese for a milder flavor.
