🧆 Mediterranean Spinach and Feta Crisps

📝 Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 small onion, finely chopped

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 3 cups fresh spinach (or 1 ½ cups frozen, thawed and drained)

• ½ teaspoon dried oregano

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 1 cup crumbled feta cheese

• 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed

• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

• Optional: sesame seeds or nigella seeds for garnish

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2. Prepare Filling:

   • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

   • Add chopped onion and cook until soft (about 3-4 minutes).

   • Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.

   • Stir in spinach and cook until wilted (if using fresh), or heated through (if using frozen).

   • Season with oregano, salt, and pepper. Let cool slightly.

   • Stir in crumbled feta cheese.

3. Assemble Crisps:

   • Roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut into small squares or circles (2–3 inches wide).

   • Place a spoonful of spinach-feta mixture in the center of each square.

   • Fold over into triangles or leave open-faced (like mini tarts), pressing edges to seal if folded. Use a fork to crimp if desired.

   • Brush tops with beaten egg. Sprinkle with sesame or nigella seeds (optional).

4. Bake:

   • Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

   • Let cool slightly before serving.

🧀 Tips:

• You can add a little grated mozzarella for a gooier filling.

• Serve with a side of tzatziki or yogurt dip for extra Mediterranean flair.

• Make ahead and freeze unbaked crisps for future snacking.
