Ingredients

  • 1 pound frozen chopped spinach thawed
  • 3 TBSP butter
  • 1/2 medium onion chopped
  • 1 cup feta crumbles
  • 3 eggs divided-2 yolks for the filling, save the remaining for brushing on as a glaze
  • 2 sheets puff pastry dough thawed

Instructions

  • break up the frozen spinach, rinse with cool water and squeeze out the water, leave to drain while you cook the onions
  • in a skillet over medium heat melt the butter and cook the onions until soft and translucent
  • while the onions cook mix the feta and the egg yolks in a mixing bowl
  • mix the remaining egg and egg whites together to make an egg wash and set aside
  • when the onions are done mix them with the cold spinach to cool them off
  • then mix them into feta and eggs
  • roll out one Puff Pastry sheet to roughly 12 inches square, score the sheet into 16 squares approximately 3x3 inches
  • divide the filling in half in the bowl and then split one of those halves between the 16 squares
  • fold each square over to form a triangle and then use a folk to crimp the edge
  • transfer the hand pies to a baking sheet, brush lightly with the egg wash and bake in a 350˚ oven for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned and cooked through
  • repeat with the remaining puff pastry and filling
  • makes 32

Notes

be aware the spinach AND the Puff Pastry Dough need to thaw before use--I left them in the fridge to thaw and they took roughly 6 hours
