- Ingredients
- ½ cup cream cheese (softened)
- 1 large egg
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp dried Dill
- 1 ½ cups packed, chopped, fresh Spinach
- ⅔ cup crumbled Feta
- salt
- freshly ground Black pepper
- 1 sheet frozen Puff pastry (thawed)
- 1 Tbsp butter (melted)
Preparation steps
1.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a baking sheet.
2.
Briefly microwave the cream cheese - about 20 seconds or longer if needed until it's soft and melted but not steaming hot. Mix the egg, oil and dill into it until well combined - the cream cheese may not be smooth and that's ok.
3.
In a separate bowl add the spinach and feta. Pour the cream cheese mixture over top, season it with salt and pepper (about 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper) then use a fork to combine it together.
4.
Roll out the puff pastry to 1/8 inch thick, then cut into eight equal squares stretching them out a little if needed. Spoon the spinach mixture into the center of each square as evenly as possible. Bring the 4 points together over the filling and press them together twisting a bit to seal.
5.
Lightly brush with the melted butter. Bake about 25 minute until golden brown and puffy. Allow to cool on the pan for 10 minutes then run a knife around the edges to loosen them and help pop them out.
