Spinach and Feta Puff Pastry Bites Recipe

Zutaten

• 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
• 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
• 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Zubereitung

1. 1

   Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to bake the pastry to a golden brown.

2. 2

   Prepare Puff Pastry: Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to smooth it out and slightly enlarge its size.

3. 3

   Mix Filling: In a bowl, combine the chopped spinach, crumbled feta, grated Parmesan cheese, and season with salt and pepper. Mix until well blended.

4. 4

   Assemble Bites: Cut the puff pastry into small squares, about 2-3 inches each. Place a spoonful of the spinach and cheese filling onto the center of each square.

5. 5

   Fold and Seal: Fold each pastry square over the filling to form triangles or bring corners together to form little parcels. Press edges firmly to seal the filling inside.

6. 6

   Apply Egg Wash: Brush the beaten egg over the surface of the puff pastry bites. This will give them a beautiful golden and glossy finish when baked.

7. 7

   Bake: Arrange the bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

8. 8

   Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let the bites cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm as an appetizer or snack.
