Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add chopped spinach to the skillet, cooking until completely wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled spinach mixture with ricotta cheese, crumbled feta, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Mix until well incorporated.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Roll out the thawed puff pastry, then cut into squares or circles, each about 3 inches in size.
Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each pastry piece. Fold over and seal edges with a fork.
Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden color.
Arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
For best results, ensure the spinach is thoroughly wilted and cool before wrapping in pastry.
