A flaky, savory snack that looks fancy but is surprisingly easy—great for tea time or quick guests.
🧾 Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
- 1 cup spinach (fresh or frozen, chopped)
- ½–1 cup cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or feta)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Salt & black pepper
👩🍳 Method
- Prep the filling
- Cook spinach lightly (if fresh) until wilted, then squeeze out excess water.
- Mix with cheese, salt, and pepper.
- Prepare pastry
- Roll out puff pastry and cut into equal squares.
- Fill & fold
- Place a spoon of filling in the center of each square.
- You can leave them open (like little tarts) or fold corners slightly inward.
- Egg wash
- Brush edges with beaten egg for that golden finish.
- Bake
- Bake at 200°C (390°F) for 15–20 minutes until puffed and golden.
🍽️ Serving ideas
- With tea or chai
- As a party snack
- With yogurt dip or ketchup
💡 Tips
- Don’t skip squeezing spinach—extra water ruins the pastry
- Feta gives a tangy flavor; mozzarella makes it stretchy
- Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for extra texture
