Ingredients

• 2 sheets puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
• 300g fresh spinach (or frozen, thawed and drained)
• 200g ricotta cheese (or cottage cheese)
• 100g feta cheese (crumbled)
• 1 small onion (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 egg (for filling)
• 1 egg yolk (for brushing on top)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for topping)
• Salt & black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. In a skillet, heat olive oil and sauté onion and garlic until soft.
3. Add spinach and cook until wilted (or until liquid evaporates if using frozen spinach). Let it cool slightly.
4. In a bowl, combine spinach, ricotta, feta, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
5. Place one puff pastry sheet on the baking tray and spread the spinach-cheese filling evenly on top.
6. Cover with the second puff pastry sheet and press the edges with a fork to seal.
7. Brush the top with egg yolk, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and score lightly with a knife to mark squares (for easy cutting later).
8. Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden and puffed.
9. Let cool slightly, cut into squares, and serve warm.
