Ingredients

  • 1 onion, diced
  • olive oil for sauteing
  • pinch of red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried mint
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 2-3 cups baby spinach
  • 3 oz cream cheese
  • 3 oz crumbled feta
  • refrigerated pastry puff or croissant dough
  • 2 oz melted butter

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
  2. Saute onions in olive oil, seasoned with red pepper flakes
  3. Once onions have caramelized (about 10 mins)stir in basil, mint and parsley. Squeeze lemon juice into pan as well. Add spinach and stir to mix with onions.
  4. Cut cream cheese into pieces and add to pan. Let heat melt cheese and stir into mixture. Remove from heat.
  5. Unroll dough and cut into about 8 rectangles. Arrange on a baking tray sprayed with cooking oil.
  6. Spoon mixture onto each rectangle, pinching sides to keep mixture from falling out while baking. Sprinkle crumbled feta into each pastry and brush edges with melted butter.
  7. Bake about 10 minutes or until underside is lightly browned. Once underside is browned I turned the oven to broil and moved the tray to the second to top rack to brown the feta. This only takes a minute.
  8. Remove from oven and top with fresh ground pepper and toasted sesame seeds, if desired. Transfer to serving tray and serve warm. Enjoy!
