Stuffed Spinach & Feta Carre Recipe

Directions for Stuffed Spinach & Feta Carre

1. 1

   Prepare the Filling

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

2. 2

   Cook the Spinach

   Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

3. 3

   Mix the Filling

   In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach mixture with crumbled feta cheese, black pepper, and salt to taste. Mix well until evenly combined.

4. 4

   Prepare the Puff Pastry

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut each sheet into a rectangle, about 10x6 inches.

5. 5

   Fill the Pastry

   Place a portion of the spinach and feta filling onto one half of the pastry rectangle. Fold the other half over the filling to create a pocket. Press the edges together to seal, and use a fork to crimp the edges for extra security.

6. 6

   Egg Wash and Bake

   Brush the tops of the filled pastries with the beaten egg to give them a golden color when baked. Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

7. 7

   Bake

   Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and puffed. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
