Instructions
🥬 Step 1:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
🧀 Step 2:
In a bowl, combine the chopped spinach, mozzarella cheese, feta cheese, salt, and black pepper.

Spread the spinach and cheese mixture evenly over the pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
📄 Step 6:
Place the second puff pastry sheet on top. Press the edges together with a fork to seal.
🔪 Step 7:
Cut the pastry into 9 equal squares before baking. This makes it easier to separate later.

Brush the top with the remaining beaten egg for a golden finish.

Sprinkle sesame seeds evenly over the top.
🔥 Step 10:
Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
