It is a lovely appetizer or snack that mixes the earthy aromas of spinach with creamy cheese, all of which is enclosed in a flaky, buttery pastry. An irresistible spinach-stuffed pastry is a great example of this combination.

This meal is ideal for parties, as a side dish, or simply as a delicious treat for oneself. It is wonderful for all of these occasions. To make it, here is the recipe.

Ingredients: THIS IS FOR THE FILLING WITH SPINACH:
Olive oil, two teaspoons’ worth
1 big onion, cut rather finely
a pound (450 grams) of fresh spinach that has been cleaned and coarsely chopped (you can also use frozen spinach that has been thawed and pressed dry) three cloves of garlic that have been minced
To taste, including salt and pepper
(Optional) nutmeg, one-fourth of a teaspoon
(120 grams) of ricotta cheese, half a cup
1/2 cup (100 grams) of crumbled feta cheese (1 cup)
60 grams of cream cheese, a quarter cup, softened
a one big egg, beaten (make sure to save some of it for the egg wash).

REGARDING THE PASTRY:

puff pastry, thawed if it was frozen, one packet (about one pound or 450 grams)
As a garnish, you may choose to use either poppy seeds or sesame seeds.

Details to follow:

1. SET THE OVEN TO PREHEATE:

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Place parchment paper on a baking pan and set it aside.

2. GET THE FILLING FOR THE SPINACH REARED:

In a large pan, bring the olive oil to a temperature of medium heat. Cook the chopped onion for around five minutes, or until it has become more tender. Once the garlic has been minced, add it to the pan and continue to simmer for another minute.

The spinach should be added to the skillet. Cook for around five to seven minutes, or until the spinach has become wilted and the liquid has evaporated. Include nutmeg, salt, and pepper in the seasonings. Allow the mixture to settle for a moment.
