Ingredients

1 package of puff pastry (thawed)
2 cups fresh spinach (chopped)
1 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 cup onion (finely chopped)
1 clove garlic (minced)
1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
Salt and pepper (to taste)
Olive oil (for drizzling)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Sauté the chopped onions and garlic until fragrant and translucent.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let it cool.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled spinach mixture with crumbled feta and ricotta cheese. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut the pastry into squares, approximately 3x3 inches in size.
Place a spoonful of the spinach and cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square.
Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling, creating a small pocket. Press the edges to seal, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the tops of the pockets with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these delicious spanakopita bites warm!
