Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 parchment paper
  • 1 rolling pin
  • 1 knife or pizza cutter
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 oven

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped approximately 60 grams
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled approximately 150 grams
  • ½ cup cream cheese, softened approximately 120 grams
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour approximately 60 grams
  • ¼ cup olive oil approximately 60 ml
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped or 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, and softened cream cheese. Mix until well blended.
  • Add the all-purpose flour, olive oil, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and dill to the spinach mixture. Stir until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  • Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to ⅛ inch thickness.
  • Cut the pastry into squares or circles, about 3 to 4 inches in size, using a knife or pizza cutter.
  • Place a generous tablespoon of the spinach filling in the center of each pastry piece.
  • Fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle or half-moon shape, sealing the edges with a fork or your fingers.
  • Arrange the filled cookies on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with olive oil for a golden finish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For added flavor, consider mixing in some grated nutmeg with the filling.
These cookies are best served warm, but they can also be enjoyed at room temperature.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat them in the oven before serving.
