Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once shimmers, add 1 chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  2. Add 6 cups of fresh chopped spinach along with a pinch of salt, pepper, 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, and 1 teaspoon of dried dill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled spinach mixture with 1 cup of ricotta cheese and 1/2 cup of crumbled feta cheese. Stir until creamy and well mixed.
  4. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out 2 sheets of puff pastry to a light thickness and cut into 12 equal squares.
  5. Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of each square. Fold each square diagonally to form triangles and press edges tightly. Use a fork to crimp edges.
  6. Beat one egg to create an egg wash. Brush the tops with the egg wash and sprinkle seeds on top if desired.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until puffed, golden brown, and crispy. Watch closely in the last few minutes for the perfect finish.
  8. Cool on a wire rack for a few minutes and serve warm.
