Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the turnovers.
- Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the 4 cups of fresh spinach to the skillet.
- Cook the spinach, stirring occasionally, until it is wilted and tender, about 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from heat and let the spinach cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, beat 1 egg.
- Add the cooled spinach and 1/2 cup of crumbled feta cheese to the bowl with the egg.
- Stir the mixture until all ingredients are well combined. Set aside.
- On a lightly floured surface, unfold and roll out the puff pastry sheets to smooth out any folds or creases.
- Cut each puff pastry sheet into 4 equal squares. You should have a total of 8 squares.
- Place a spoonful of the spinach and feta mixture in the center of each puff pastry square.
- Fold each square into a triangle by bringing one corner over the filling to the opposite corner.
- Press the edges together firmly to seal, and then crimp the edges with a fork to ensure they are sealed properly.
- Beat the remaining egg in a small bowl.
- Brush the tops of the turnovers with the beaten egg. This will help them achieve a beautiful golden color when baked.
- Place the turnovers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed.
- Remove the turnovers from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Serve warm and enjoy these delicious spinach and feta turnovers as a snack, appetizer, or light meal!
Tips:
- Ensure the spinach is thoroughly washed and well-drained before cooking to avoid excess moisture in the filling.
- If using frozen puff pastry, let it thaw completely before handling to prevent tearing.
- Brush the edges of the puff pastry with a little beaten egg to help seal the turnovers properly.
- Experiment with adding herbs like dill or parsley to the spinach and feta mixture for extra flavor.
- Serve the turnovers warm, but let them cool slightly after baking to avoid a too-hot filling.
Spinach & feta turnovers are not only easy to make, but they also offer a delicious way to incorporate nutritious greens into your diet.
