Spinach & Feta Pastries
(makes 8)
Prep time
5 min
Total time
10 min
Ingredients
- 120g frozen spinach
- 1 x small onion (half large)
- 3 x garlic cloves
- Mixed herbs, salt & pepper
- 1/2 x cup water
- 200g feta cheese crumbled
- 50g grated mozzarella
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
Pre heat oven to 180C.
Making filling:
Fry onion and garlic for a few minutes till tender, add in spinach, herbs, salt and pepper and the water and fry until the water has evaporated.
Cool down—spread on a large plate and put in the freezer for about 5 minutes.
Once cooled, add in the feta and mozzarella and the egg white, and mix well.
Spread the mixed filling over the pastry sheet and roll it up. Press down to flatten slightly and slice into 11 pieces (perfect kid-friendly size).
Brush with egg yolk mixed with 1 tsp milk, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and bake for 30–32 minutes. Don’t be tempted to remove them early—puff pastry looks golden before it’s flaky all the way through.
Leave to cool for 5–10 minutes and serve warm or at room temperature.

1 x small onion (half large)
3 x garlic cloves
Mixed herbs, salt & pepper
1/2 x cup water
200g feta cheese crumbled
50g grated mozzarella
1 x egg separated (white will mix into filling, yolk to brush the pastry)
Sesame seeds
Instructions
Pre heat oven to 180C.
Making filling:
Fry onion and garlic for a few minutes till tender, add in spinach, herbs, salt and pepper and the water and fry until the water has evaporated. Cool down, for quickest cooling spread on a large plate and put in the freezer, should take 5 min this way. Once cooled add in the cheese and egg white and mix well.
Spread the mixed filling over the pastry sheet and roll it up, once rolled press down to flatten slightly and slice, I did these fairly thin so I made 11 and they were the perfect size and easy for my kids to hold.
Brush with egg yolk mixed with a tsp of milk, add sesame seeds and bake for 30-32 minutes. Don’t be tempted to take it out earlier, puff pastry gets golden quickly but it doesn’t mean it’s flakey all the way through, hang tight for a better bake.
Leave to cool for 5-10 min and eat warm or cool.
