Kittencals Greek Spinach And Feta Puff Pastry Triangles Recipes

Steps:

• Thaw the puff pastry at room temperature for 40 minutes.
• Set oven to 400 degrees F.
• Lightly grease a baking sheet.
• In a small cup or bowl whisk together 1 egg with water; set aside.
• In another bowl mix together 2 eggs, feta cheese, spinach, onion, parsley and black pepper.
• Unfold the pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface.
• Roll each sheet into a 12-inch square.
• Cut each into 16 (3-inch) squares (I use a pizza cutter for this!).
• Place about 1 tablespoon spinach/cheese mixture in the middle of each square.
• Brush the edges with egg mixture.
• Fold squares over the filling to form triangles.
• Crimp edges to seal.
• Place on a baking sheet, and brush tops with remaining egg mixture.
• Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden.
• Best served warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• * To cut calories, you can use butter-flavored cooking spray in place of the butter.
• Cook spinach according to directions; drain well.
• Mix spinach, eggs, onion, cream cheese, pepper and feta cheese together.
• Refrigerate mixture at least 1 hour.
• Open package of phyllo pastry; cut a strip 2" wide, cutting through all layers.
• Cover remaining dough with a damp cloth to prevent cracking.
• Separate dough so that you have 2 sheets for each triangle.
• Brush the dough with melted butter.
• Put 1 rounded teaspoon of spinach mixture at the top of the strip.
• Fold pastry over like folding a flag.
• Place on well-buttered baking sheet; brush top with butter.
• Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.
• Serve warm.
• To freeze the triangles before cooking, butter both sides of triangle and wrap well.
• Bake when needed.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375. Line a baking sheet with parchment (preferable) but you can use aluminum foil with a light spray of cooking oil.
• Melt butter and cook onions for a few minutes, until soft. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
• Beat eggs in medium bowl. Add cooked onion, spinach, feta, parmesan, bread crumbs. Add salt, pepper, & nutmeg. Mix well with fork.
• Place one unfolded sheet of puff pastry on the parchment or sprayed aluminum foil. Spread the spinach mixture over the pastry, leaving a border of one inch all around the edges. Keep the spinach flat; do not pile high.
• Brush the edges with the egg wash made with the last egg. Cover with the second sheet of pastry that has been slightly flattened with a rolling pin to one inch bigger than the first sheet. (This ensures all the spinach will be covered). Press edges together with fingertips or fork, making sure mixture is sealed well. Brush just the top with egg wash, careful not to drip any down the sides. Cut a few slits in the top with a sharp knife to allow steam to escape.
• Bake 30-40 minutes, until golden brown. Can be served hot or at room temperature.
