Heat the\u00a0<strong>olive oil<\/strong>\u00a0in a large pan over medium heat. Add the spinach (in batches if necessary) and saut\u00e9 until it wilts completely. This will only take about 3-4 minutes. If using frozen spinach, make sure it\u2019s fully thawed and squeezed to remove any excess water before using it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Saut\u00e9 onions and garlic<\/strong>: In the same pan, add the\u00a0<strong>chopped onion<\/strong>\u00a0and saut\u00e9 for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced\u00a0<strong>garlic<\/strong>\u00a0and saut\u00e9 for another 1 minute until fragrant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Combine the filling<\/strong>: In a large bowl, combine the cooked spinach, saut\u00e9ed onion and garlic, and the cheeses (<strong>ricotta<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>feta<\/strong>, and\u00a0<strong>parmesan<\/strong>). Stir in the\u00a0<strong>egg<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>nutmeg<\/strong>\u00a0(if using), and season with\u00a0<strong>salt<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>black pepper<\/strong>. Mix until everything is well combined. Set the filling aside.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 2: Assemble the Pastry<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Preheat the oven<\/strong>: Preheat your oven to\u00a0<strong>375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Roll out the puff pastry<\/strong>: Unroll the\u00a0<strong>puff pastry sheets<\/strong>\u00a0on a lightly floured surface. If using a sheet of puff pastry, you can either cut it into squares for individual pastries or keep it whole for a larger stuffed pastry. For a large pie, cut the pastry into two large rectangles\u2014one for the bottom and one for the top.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fill the pastry<\/strong>: Place a generous amount of the spinach filling in the center of each pastry sheet (or in the center of the large rectangle if making a single pie). Be careful not to overfill, leaving some space around the edges so you can seal the pastry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Seal the pastry<\/strong>: Fold the edges of the pastry over the filling, creating a pouch or fold the larger pastry over the top to create a pocket. Press the edges together to seal, and use a fork to crimp the edges if desired.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Brush with egg wash<\/strong>: Brush the top of the pastry with the beaten\u00a0<strong>egg<\/strong>\u00a0to give it a golden, glossy finish. If you like, sprinkle\u00a0<strong>sesame seeds<\/strong>\u00a0over the top for a bit of crunch and flavor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 3: Bake the Pastry<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Bake<\/strong>: Place the prepared pastries on a lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for\u00a0<strong>20-25 minutes<\/strong>\u00a0(individual pastries) or\u00a0<strong>30-35 minutes<\/strong>\u00a0(a large pie), or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cool slightly<\/strong>: Once baked, remove from the oven and let the pastries cool for a few minutes before cutting into them. This helps the filling set and makes them easier to handle.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 4: Serve<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Slice the\u00a0<strong>Spinach Stuffed Pastry<\/strong>\u00a0into squares or wedges and serve warm as an appetizer, snack, or side dish.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They are perfect alongside a light salad, soup, or even on their own.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tips:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Customize the filling<\/strong>: Feel free to add\u00a0<strong>mushrooms<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>sun-dried tomatoes<\/strong>, or even a bit of\u00a0<strong>cream cheese<\/strong>\u00a0to make the filling richer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make ahead<\/strong>: You can prepare the filling and assemble the pastries in advance, then store them in the fridge. Bake them fresh when you\u2019re ready to serve.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Freezing<\/strong>: These pastries freeze wonderfully! You can freeze the assembled, unbaked pastries and bake them directly from the freezer. Just add an extra 5-10 minutes to the baking time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These&nbsp;<strong>Spinach Stuffed Pastries<\/strong>&nbsp;are flaky, cheesy, and packed with savory spinach flavor. Whether you make them as a large pie or individual hand-held pastries, they\u2019re always a crowd-pleaser!
