Spinach & Feta Puffs are such an easy savoury to prepare. This recipe uses puff pastry which is baked with the filling.

Homemade puff pastry is always a winner but nowadays everyone needs the easy way out so I have used a store bought puff pastry for this recipe.

 

Spinach & Feta Puffs Ingredients:

• 400 grams puff pastry
• 200 grams spinach
• 3 blocks feta
• 1 teaspoon baharat spice (optional)
• 1 teaspoon ginger & garlic paste
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 1 teaspoon onion powder

Method:

1. 1. Firstly, make sure that the puff pastry is defrosted.
   2. Remove the stems from the spinach & give it a rinse.
   3. 
   4. Chop the spinach & set aside in a bowl.
   5. 
   6. Crumble the feta using your fingertips & set aside until ready to use.
   7. 
   8. Heat the vegetable oil in a wide pan on medium heat & add in the chopped spinach.
   9. 
   10. To the spinach, add in the ginger & garlic paste.
   11. 
   12. Add in the onion powder, red chili flakes & the Baharat spice.
   13. 
   14. Mix well.
   15. 
   16. Allow the spinach to cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
   17. 
   18. After 5 minutes, the spinach should be cooked & wilted. Turn off the heat & add in the crumbled feta.
   19. 
   20. Mix until the spinach & feta are well combined & set aside.
   21. 
   22. Preheat oven to 180° Celsius or 356° Fahrenheit.
   23. Bring out a medium muffin tray (12 muffins).
   24. 
   25. Lightly flour a surface & open out the puff pastry.
   26. 
   27. Next, cut the puff pastry into 12 equal squares. I used a square cookie cutter that was the same size of the muffin slots.
   28. 
   29. 
   30. Take each square & place it into the muffin tray.
   31. 
   32. 
   33. Thereafter, spoon the spinach & feta mixture in the center of each puff square.
   34. 
   35. 
   36. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden.
   37. 
   38. 
   39. 
   40. Carefully remove the Spinach & Feta Puffs from the muffin tray onto a cooling rack.
   41. 
   42. This will prevent the bottom of the pastry to become soggy in the muffin tray.
   43. 
   44. Plate these delicious Spinach & Feta Puffs & enjoy.
   45. 
   46. These are a perfect snack for those meat-free days & will also make for great Diwali & Eid parcels.
