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

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

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
