Ingredients đź›’
Filling
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 10 oz fresh spinach, chopped (or 1 package frozen, thawed and drained)
- ½ tsp dried dill
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ½ tsp lemon zest
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- ½ cup ricotta or cream cheese (optional, for extra creaminess)
Pastry
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions 👩‍🍳
- Sauté: Heat olive oil in a skillet. Add onion and garlic, cook until fragrant. Stir in spinach, dill, salt, pepper, and lemon zest. Cook until spinach is wilted and liquid evaporates. Let cool slightly.
- Mix filling: Combine spinach mixture with feta and ricotta (if using).
- Prepare pastry: Roll puff pastry slightly to fit a pie dish or baking tray. Place half the pastry down as the base.
- Assemble: Spread filling evenly over pastry. Cover with remaining pastry sheet. Seal edges and cut small slits on top for steam release.
- Bake: Brush with beaten egg. Bake at 200°C (400°F) for 25–30 minutes until golden and puffed.
- Serve: Slice warm and enjoy flaky layers with creamy filling.
Tips
- Extra indulgence: Sprinkle sesame seeds or nigella seeds on top before baking.
- Variation: Add sun-dried tomatoes or olives for a Mediterranean twist.
- Serving idea: Pair with a fresh Greek salad or yogurt dip.
