Mmm… look at how great these look! All golden and light! The taste is amazing too, because spinach goes very well with feta cheese. Guests who don’t eat meat will thank you for making this!

Ingredients

2 pounds spinach (1 kg, fresh)
1/2 pound feta cheese (200 grams)
1 onion (1 big or 2 small ones)
2 cloves garlic
2 eggs
1 handful dill (fresh)
1 cube butter (8 grams)
puff pastry

Instructions

Chop the onion
In a preheated pan, put some olive oil, then the butter.
When the butter has melted, add the onion and sear it for 4 minutes at medium heat.
Add the finely chopped garlic over the onion and stir for 10-15 seconds.
Add the spinach into the pan. Leave it to settle for 1-2 min, then stir all the ingredients in the pan. Cook for 5-6 mins, after which you need to let it cool down.
Beat an egg into a bowl
Crush the feta cheese with your fingers into a different, larger bowl and add the egg over it
Chop the dill finely and add it to the feta bowl
Once the spinach mix has cooled down, add it also to the big bowl with the feta and mix everything with a spoon for 2-3 mins until everything comes together, like a paste.
Cut the puff pastry into 6 squares. Take some of the spinach and feta mix and add it in the center of a square. Then close it, in the shape of a triangle. Take a fork and press on the sides of the triangle, to seal it up well, then cut the excess off with a knife.
Put the triangles into an oven tray covered in baking sheet and cover with egg wash.
Have your oven preheated, then put in the tray at 347 degrees fahrenheit (or 175 degrees celsius) for 20 mins, or until golden.
