Spinach & Feta Puff Pastry Pie

A savory pie made with flaky puff pastry filled with sautéed spinach, creamy feta, and ricotta cheese, seasoned with herbs and baked until golden brown. Perfect for sharing as an appetizer or light meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 2 cups fresh spinach (or 1 cup frozen, thawed and drained)
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley or basil, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  3. Add spinach and cook until wilted (if using fresh). Remove from heat and drain excess moisture. Let cool slightly.
  4. In a bowl, combine sautéed spinach, feta cheese, ricotta cheese, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
  5. Roll out the puff pastry sheet and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Spoon the spinach filling evenly over one half of the pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
  7. Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling to form a semi-circle. Seal edges with a fork.
  8. Brush the top with beaten egg and score the surface lightly with a knife for steam to escape.
  9. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
  10. Allow to cool slightly before slicing into wedges. Garnish with chopped parsley or basil and drizzle with a little olive oil if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure spinach is well-drained to prevent soggy pastry.
  • Can be served warm or at room temperature.
  • Great as an appetizer, brunch dish, or light lunch.
  • You can substitute ricotta with cream cheese for a richer filling.
