- Total Time 27 mins
- Ingredients
- 1 package (about 500 grams) puff pastry sheets, thawed
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Instructions
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, feta cheese, Parmesan cheese, cooked spinach mixture, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Prepare the Pastry:
- Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F) for about 3 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets and cut them into squares or rectangles, depending on your preference.
- Place a spoonful of the spinach filling in the center of each pastry square.
- Assemble the Pastries:
- Fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle or rectangle, and press the edges with a fork to seal.
- Brush the top of each pastry with the beaten egg to give it a nice golden color.
- Cook the Pastries:
- Place the pastries in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding; you may need to cook in batches.
- Cook at 180°C (350°F) for 10-12 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve:
- Remove the pastries from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.
- Optional: Serve with a side of marinara sauce or a yogurt dip.
