Description

Ideally, you should use phyllo dough for this, but I can't find it anywhere. So, I'm using puff pastry and trying to roll it as thin as possible. It's essential to make tzatziki sauce (or tzatziki, or tzatziki) to go with this pastry; you can't skip it. Here's the recipe: http://eda.ru/sauce/recipe37681

Ingredients

Feta cheese - 7.1 oz
Puff Pastry - 8.8 oz
Chicken Egg - 2 pieces
Onion - 1 head
Garlic - 1 clove
Parsley - to taste
Dill - to taste
Scallions - to taste
Olive Oil - 4 spoons
Frozen spinach discs - 14.1 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

If you are using frozen spinach, the first step is to thaw it and squeeze out any excess moisture very well. If you have fresh spinach, finely chop the leaves.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion and sauté it in olive oil until golden brown. While the onion is cooking, finely chop the herbs (parsley, dill, and green onions).

Step 3

In a bowl, beat the eggs and add feta cheese, mashing it with a fork and mixing it with the eggs to create a smooth mixture. Add the drained spinach, sautéed onion, chopped herbs, and a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. Mix everything well.

Step 4

Roll out the dough as thinly as possible and cut it into 12 cm squares. Place a couple of tablespoons of filling on each piece of dough, fold it into a triangle, seal the edges, and arrange the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
