Puff Pastry Spinach Pie


I don't know what took me so long to make this again. It's super easy yet so good!

Puff Pastry Spinach Pie

(serves 2)
  • 3-4 sheets puff pastry ( I used the frozen kind)
  • equal amounts spinach and feta cheese - as you can see in the picture below, I used about as much as fits into a rice bowl
  • 1 egg
  • salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste

  1. Lay frozen puff pastry out on the counter to let it thaw and preheat your oven to 180° celsius.
  2. Prepare your spinach - if you are using frozen spinach, heat it up in a microwave or pan, if you are using fresh spinach, steam it. Just make sure that in the end you have about the same amounts of both spinach and cheese.
  3. In a large bowl, combine crumbled feta cheese and spinach, then season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Once you are happy with the taste, stir in the egg.
  4. Using a rolling pin, slightly spread out the sheets of puff pastry. Cover the bottom of a deep baking dish with a single sheet, then cut up another one or two to cover the walls.
  5. Transfer the filling into the dish, then cover with another sheet of puff pastry. Fold and roll down the edges, then brush the top with olive oil.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
