Spinach and Feta Puff Pastry Parcels

Print Recipe

Golden, flaky puff pastry filled with a creamy spinach and feta cheese mixture—these savory parcels are perfect for brunch, appetizers, or a comforting vegetarian dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion until soft, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  3. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Let cool slightly.
  4. In a bowl, mix spinach mixture with crumbled feta and ricotta until combined.
  5. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface and cut into 2 large rectangles.
  6. Spoon the spinach filling onto one side of each rectangle, leaving a 1/2 inch border. Fold over and seal the edges with a fork.
  7. Score the top lightly with a knife and brush with beaten egg.
  8. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden and puffed.
  9. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

  • Allow the spinach mixture to cool before mixing with cheese to prevent soggy pastry.
  • You can cut the pastry into smaller squares for mini appetizer versions.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat in the oven for best texture.
