Spinach And Cheese Pastry Recipe

Preparing the Filling

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). In a pan over medium heat, sauté the finely chopped onion until translucent. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Season with salt, pepper, and herbs like dill or parsley. Let the mixture cool. 2. In a bowl, mix the cooled spinach and onion with cheese (feta or ricotta works well), adjusting the amount to your taste. If you're using feta, you might want to use less salt in the mixture.

Assembling the Pastry

1. Roll out the puff pastry dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle or square, depending on the shape you prefer. 2. Spread the spinach and cheese mixture evenly over the pastry, leaving a small border around the edges. 3. Gently roll the pastry over the filling, tucking in the edges as you go, to create a log or fold it in half to form a parcel. Seal the edges by pressing them together. Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Baking

1. Place the assembled pastry on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. 2. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden and puffed. 3. Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
