KITTENCAL'S GREEK SPINACH AND FETA PUFF PASTRY TRIANGLES



Kittencal's Greek Spinach and Feta Puff Pastry Triangles image

I have been making these for years for my get togethers and I sometimes make these using phyllo dough but puff pastry is really just as good and more convenient --- I sometimes add in roasted garlic into the spinach mixture and also a pinch of cayenne pepper for a bit of heat --- these are so good and make wonderful appetizers!

Categories     appetizer

Time 45m

Yield about 32 puffs

Number Of Ingredients 7

One 10-ounce package frozen spinach
1/4 pound firm feta cheese, coarsely crumbled
2 cloves garlic, pressed
About 20 grinds black pepper
Small dash nutmeg
Flour, for dusting
One 10-by-9.5-inch piece of packaged puff pastry

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Thaw frozen spinach in microwave according to package directions or by running under warm water. Drain spinach, squeezing the excess liquid from it. In a bowl, mix the spinach, feta, garlic, pepper, and nutmeg together.
  • Flour a clean, dry countertop or other flat working surface. Lay out the puff pasty on the floured surface. Flour the top of the dough. Roll out the puff pastry until it is half as thick (about 1/8-inch) and about 24 by 12 inches. Trim edges to size if necessary. Cut into 3-inch strips crosswise and lengthwise, making 32 (3-inch) squares. Make sure the squares are well floured then stack them in a little pile.
  • Fill a little dish with some room temperature water. Imagine each square you work with is separated in half by a diagonal. Place a couple teaspoons of filling in the top half. Dip a finger into the water and moisten the edges of the top half with water. Fold the bottom half to meet the edges of the top half. Use a fork to seal the edges.
  • Place finished pockets on a nonstick baking sheet and bake about 15 minutes until golden brown and puffy. Serve warm.

Categories     appetizer

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
2 cups chopped onions (2 onions)
1 tablespoon chopped garlic (3 cloves)
2 (10-ounce) boxes frozen chopped spinach, defrosted
1/3 cup chopped scallions, white and green parts (2 scallions)
1 cup grated Gruyere cheese
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
4 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon dry bread crumbs, plain or seasoned
2 teaspoons kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 cup toasted pignoli (pine) nuts
2 sheets (1 box) frozen puff pastry (such as Pepperidge Farm), defrosted overnight in the refrigerator
1 extra-large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Heat the butter in a saute pan and cook the onions over medium-low heat for 5 to 7 minutes, until tender. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Meanwhile, squeeze most of the water out of the spinach and place it in a bowl. Add the onion mixture, scallions, Gruyere, Parmesan, eggs, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and pignolis. Mix well.
  • Unfold one sheet of puff pastry and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread the spinach mixture in the middle of the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border. Brush the border with the egg wash. Roll out the second piece of puff pastry on a floured board until it's an inch larger in each direction. Place the second sheet of pastry over the spinach and seal the edges, crimping them with a fork. Brush the top with egg wash but don't let it drip down the sides or the pastry won't rise. Make three small slits in the pastry, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the pastry is lightly browned. Transfer to a cutting board and serve hot.

SPINACH ROLLS WITH PUFF PASTRY



Spinach Rolls with Puff Pastry image

A vegetarian version of mini sausage rolls but made with a spinach and feta filling. I used frozen spinach because it was a better buy than fresh at the time but the equivalent amount of fresh spinach, chopped and wilted, would do the job.

Tips:

  • Thaw the puff pastry dough properly: Before you start working with the dough, make sure it's thawed completely. This will help prevent it from cracking or tearing.
  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has the best flavor and texture. If you're using frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess water before using.
  • Sauté the spinach until it's wilted: This will help remove excess moisture and concentrate the flavor.
  • Use a good quality feta cheese: Feta cheese is a key ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. Look for a cheese that is firm and crumbly, with a sharp, salty flavor.
  • Don't overfill the puff pastry: This will prevent the pastry from puffing up properly.
  • Bake the puff pastry until it's golden brown: This will ensure that the pastry is cooked through and flaky.

Conclusion:

Spinach and feta stuffed puff pastry is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. It's perfect for parties or potlucks, and it can be made ahead of time. With its flakey crust, creamy spinach filling, and tangy feta cheese, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
