Making Greek Spanakopita with puff pastry is a delicious and convenient twist on the traditional recipe, offering the same savory flavors with less preparation time. Here's how to make an easy version of Spanakopita using puff pastry:
Ingredients: – 1 package (about 17.3 ounces) of frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed – 10 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and drained well – 1 cup crumbled feta cheese – 1/2 cup ricotta cheese – 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese – 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced – 2 tablespoons olive oil – 1 teaspoon dried dill (or 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped) – Salt and pepper, to taste – 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions: Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Parchment a baking sheet. In a skillet, heat olive oil on medium. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic for 3–4 minutes until softened and aromatic.
Add frozen and drained spinach to the skillet and simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring regularly, until liquid evaporates. Mix cooked spinach, crumbled feta, ricotta, grated Parmesan, dried dill, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Thoroughly mix all components.
Thawed puff pastry sheets should be unfolded on a lightly floured surface. Depending on your Spanakopita triangle size, cut each sheet into squares or rectangles. Spoon spinach and cheese mixture onto one side of each puff pastry square or rectangle, leaving a border.
Fold the other half of puff pastry over the filling to form a triangle or rectangle. Press and seal the edges with a fork. Place the filled puff pastry triangles or rectangles on the baking sheet.
