Ingredients
2 sheets of puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
1 ½ cups spinach (chopped and cooked, excess water squeezed out)
1 cup ricotta cheese (or feta for stronger flavor)
½ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 egg (for egg wash + 1 extra for the filling)
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: Sesame seeds for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, mix the spinach, ricotta (or feta), mozzarella, 1 egg, salt, and pepper until everything is well combined.
- Roll out one sheet of puff pastry onto a piece of baking paper.
- Spread the spinach and cheese mixture evenly over the pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Place the second sheet of puff pastry on top and press the edges with a fork to seal the two sheets together.
- Use a knife to cut the pastry into square portions.
- Brush the top with an egg wash (the second beaten egg).
- If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds over the top for extra texture and flavor.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden and puffed.
Notes
- For a milder flavor, use ricotta cheese; for a stronger flavor, use feta.
- You can add herbs such as garlic powder, dried oregano, or fresh basil for extra flavor.
- For a vegan version, substitute the cheese with plant-based cheese and use a non-dairy egg wash.
- These can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator or frozen for later use.
