Golden Spinach & Feta Triangles

Crispy, buttery puff pastry filled with a savory Mediterranean-style cheese blend.

🛒 Ingredients

  • Pastry: 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)

  • Greens: 1 cup chopped spinach (fresh or frozen, squeezed completely dry)

  • Cheese: ½ cup crumbled feta (or cream cheese for a milder taste)

  • Melty Factor: ½ cup mozzarella (optional)

  • Binding: 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)

  • Seasoning: 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste

  • Topping: Sesame or nigella seeds (optional)

👩‍🍳 Execution Steps

  1. Prep the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Sauté the Spinach: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the spinach for 2–3 minutes until wilted.

    Note: If using frozen spinach, ensure all excess water is squeezed out after cooking to avoid a soggy bottom! Let it cool slightly.

  3. Create the Filling: In a medium bowl, stir together the cooled spinach, feta, and mozzarella. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. Assemble: Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. You can either:

    • The Fold: Spread filling over half the sheet, fold it over, and cut into triangles.

    • The Individual Wrap: Cut the pastry into squares first, place a dollop of filling in the center, and fold diagonally to seal.

  5. Seal & Glaze: Crimp the edges with a fork to lock in the cheese. Brush the tops generously with the beaten egg and sprinkle with seeds if using.

  6. Bake: Slide into the oven for 18–22 minutes. Remove when the pastry is puffed and a deep golden brown.

💡 Pro-Tip

If you want a little extra “zing,” add half a teaspoon of lemon zest or some fresh dill to the filling. It makes the feta pop!
