  • Author: Sarah

Ingredients

Scale

To create these irresistible pastry bites, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)

These ingredients are easy to find and might already be in your kitchen, making this recipe both convenient and affordable.


Instructions

Follow these step-by-step instructions to create perfect Spinach and Feta Stuffed Pastry Bites:

  1. Preheat the Oven
    • Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your pastry bites will cook evenly and achieve a golden-brown perfection.
  2. Prepare the Puff Pastry
    • Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.
    • Cut the pastry into squares, approximately 3×3 inches in size. This size is ideal for bite-sized pieces that are easy to handle and eat.
  3. Make the Filling
    • In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, softened cream cheese, and minced garlic.
    • Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  4. Fill the Pastry
    • Place a spoonful of the spinach and feta filling in the center of each pastry square. Be careful not to overfill, as it might cause the pastry to burst during baking.
  5. Seal the Pastry
    • Fold the corners of each square over to create a triangle.
    • Use a fork to press and seal the edges, ensuring the filling stays inside during baking.
  6. Apply Egg Wash
    • Brush the tops of the pastry triangles with beaten egg. This will give them a beautiful, glossy finish once baked.
  7. Bake
    • Arrange the pastry bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
