Description

These Mediterranean Spinach Feta Crisps are flaky, golden bites filled with fresh spinach, creamy feta cheese, garlic, and aromatic herbs. Perfect as a delicious appetizer, snack, or finger food for parties, they combine classic Mediterranean flavors wrapped in crisp puff pastry.

Ingredients

Puff Pastry and Filling

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
  • ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

For Assembly

  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the crisps.
  2. Sauté Spinach: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped spinach and sauté for 1–2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely to avoid sogging the pastry.
  3. Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled spinach, crumbled feta cheese, minced garlic, chopped dill, and chopped parsley. Mix thoroughly to blend all flavors.
  4. Cut Puff Pastry: Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it into 12 equal squares.
  5. Fill Pastry Squares: Place a spoonful of the spinach and feta filling in the center of each square, ensuring not to overfill to maintain easy sealing.
  6. Fold and Seal: Fold each square diagonally or into a preferred shape, then press the edges firmly with a fork to seal and prevent filling from leaking during baking.
  7. Egg Wash and Finish: Brush the tops of each sealed crisp with the beaten egg to achieve a golden, glossy finish. Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added texture and flavor.
  8. Bake: Place the crisps on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes until they are puffed up and golden brown.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Serve these crisps with tzatziki or a yogurt-based dipping sauce for an authentic Mediterranean accompaniment.
  • If using frozen spinach, thoroughly squeeze out excess moisture to prevent soggy pastry.
  • These crisps are best enjoyed warm straight from the oven to savor the flaky texture.
