Description

These Mini Spinach Feta Pies are a quick and flaky Greek-inspired appetizer made with puff pastry, spinach, feta, and onion. Perfect for parties, snacks, or meal prep.


Ingredients

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 16 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well-drained
  • 8 oz feta cheese, crumbled
  • ½ small yellow onion, finely diced (about ¼ cup)
  • 3 eggs, divided
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste


Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling:
    Squeeze all excess liquid from the thawed spinach until it is very dry. Transfer to a mixing bowl and add the diced onion, crumbled feta, and two eggs. Season lightly with salt and pepper, and mix until the filling is fully combined.
  2. Prep the pastry:
    Place the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it into 12–16 even squares.
  3. Fill the pies:
    Spoon a small amount of the spinach mixture onto each square. Fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle or rectangle and press the edges with a fork to seal.
  4. Add egg wash:
    Beat the remaining egg and brush over the tops of the pastries.
  5. Bake:
    Arrange the pies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until golden and puffed.
  6. Cool and enjoy:
    Let the pies cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Drain the spinach thoroughly to prevent soggy pastry.
  • Add herbs like dill or parsley for extra flavor.
  • Keep puff pastry cold until ready to fill for best flakiness.
  • Freeze unbaked pies for future easy snacks.
  • Brush with extra egg wash for a deeper golden crust.
