Spinach with feta turnover

Spinach with feta turnovers are a delightful and easy-to-make appetizer or snack that's both savory and satisfying. Combining fresh spinach, creamy feta cheese, and flaky puff pastry, this recipe offers a delicious and nutritious treat that's perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 cup spinach
30g
2 eggs
110g
1 oz feta cheese
27g
1 shell puff pastry
45g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- If using frozen puff pastry, allow it to thaw according to the package instructions. Ensure it's still cold but pliable.
- Rinse and dry the spinach if using fresh. If using frozen spinach, thaw and drain it well, squeezing out excess moisture.
- Crumble the feta cheese if it isn't already.
2. Cook the Spinach:
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted if fresh, or until heated through if using thawed, frozen spinach.
- Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
3. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a medium bowl, lightly beat 1 egg. This will be added to the spinach mixture.
- Keep the second egg separate; this will be used for the egg wash.
4. Combine the Filling:
- Once the spinach has cooled a bit, mix it with the beaten egg and crumbled feta cheese.
- Stir until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
5. Assemble the Turnover:
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to ensure it's smooth.
- Cut the puff pastry into equal squares or rectangles, depending on the number of turnovers you want to make (2-4 pieces are typical).
6. Fill the Pastry:
- Place a generous spoonful of the spinach mixture onto the center of each puff pastry square.
- Fold the pastry over the filling to create a triangle or rectangle. Press the edges firmly to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for an additional seal and decorative touch.
7. Apply Egg Wash:
- In a small bowl, beat the remaining egg. Use a pastry brush to lightly brush the top of each turnover with the beaten egg. This will give the turnovers a golden, glossy finish.
8. Bake:
- Place the turnovers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden and puffed up.
9. Cool and Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let the turnovers cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool slightly.
- Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Spinach and Feta Turnovers!

Tips:

- Tip 1: Ensure the spinach is well-drained after washing to avoid soggy turnovers. You can even pat it dry with a paper towel.

- Tip 2: Crumble the feta cheese finely. This helps it to evenly distribute throughout the filling, ensuring every bite is flavorful.

- Tip 3: Use a beaten egg to brush the edges of the puff pastry. This helps seal the turnovers and gives them a beautiful golden-brown finish when baked.

- Tip 4: Preheat your oven to the temperature recommended for the puff pastry. Ensuring the oven is fully preheated helps achieve the best puff and flakiness.

- Tip 5: Don't overfill the turnovers. Overfilling can cause the turnovers to burst open while baking. A tablespoon or two of filling per turnover is usually sufficient.

There you have it, a simple yet absolutely delicious spinach with feta turnover. With its crispy puff pastry shell and savory filling, this turnover is sure to impress at your next gathering or serve as a delightful snack any day of the week. Enjoy your homemade turnovers hot and fresh from the oven!
