Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 10 ounces fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 sheet (14.1 oz) frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon milk or egg wash for brushing
  • Sesame seeds (optional) for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Sauté shallots in olive oil until softened. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Drain any excess liquid.
  2. In a bowl, combine the cooked spinach mixture, crumbled feta, dill, egg, lemon zest, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Gently unfold the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry into 6 equal squares.
  4. Place a spoonful of the feta-spinach mixture in the center of each square.
  5. Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle. Press the edges firmly to seal. Crimp edges with a fork for extra security and a nice look.
  6. Place the triangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with milk or egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds (if using).
  7. Bake in a preheated oven (400°F/200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffy.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving.
