Ingredients:

2 cups feta cheese
460g
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
27g
2 tbsp fresh parsley
10g
1 tsp dried oregano
5g
1 tsp chili powder
5g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
2 sheets puff pastry
500g
1 egg
50g
1 tbsp vinegar
16g
2 garlic cloves
6g
2 tsp mustard
10g
2 tsp honey
6g
2 cups cherry tomatoes
360g
1/3 cup spearmint
30g

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prep:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. Mix the Filling:
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, grated parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, dried oregano, chili powder, and olive oil. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Prepare Puff Pastry:
- Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into approximately 9 equal squares. Adjust the size based on your preference.
4. Fill and Fold:
- Place a spoonful of the cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square. Fold each square into a triangle or rectangle, and press the edges with a fork to seal them.
5. Egg Wash:
- Brush the tops of the pastry puffs with the beaten egg. This will give them a beautiful golden color when baked.
6. Bake:
- Place the filled and sealed pastry puffs on the prepared baking tray, leaving some space between each. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
1. Prepare Dressing:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, minced garlic, mustard, and honey until well combined.
2. Combine Salad:
- In a larger salad bowl, add the halved cherry tomatoes and chopped spearmint. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat the tomatoes evenly.
1. Arrange and Enjoy:
- Serve the freshly baked feta pastry puffs warm, alongside the refreshing tomato salad. Enjoy!

Tips:

- Ensure the puff pastry is cold when you start working with it to make it easier to handle and to achieve a better puff in the oven.

- For a smoother consistency in the feta filling, you can blend the feta cheese with a bit of milk or cream.

- When making the tomato salad, let it sit for a few minutes after mixing to allow the flavors to meld together.

- Make sure to preheat your oven properly to ensure the puff pastry cooks evenly and becomes nicely golden and crispy.

- Feel free to add more herbs like basil or dill to the tomato salad for extra freshness and flavor.

These Fetta Pastry Puffs with Tomato Salad are sure to impress with their combination of rich pastry and a bold, fresh salad. Not only are they delicious, but they also add a colorful and sophisticated touch to any meal. Enjoy your culinary creation!
