Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 Large onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
- 1 (10-ounce) Package chopped frozen spinach, thawed and well drained
- 2 Eggs
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 package (17.3 ounces) Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets (2 sheets), thawed
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1/2 cup Crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
-
Heat the oven to 375°F. Lightly spray 2 baking sheets with vegetable cooking spray.
-
Heat the butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until it's tender. Add the spinach and cook for 2 minutes or until the liquid evaporates, stirring constantly. Remove the skillet from the heat. Beat 1 egg in a small bowl with a fork. Stir the beaten egg, cream cheese and garlic powder in the skillet.
-
Unfold 1 pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll the pastry into a 9 x12-inch rectangle. Cut the rectangle into 4 (4 1/2 x 6-inch) rectangles. Repeat with the remaining pastry sheet, making 8 rectangles in all. Beat the remaining egg and water in a small bowl with a fork. Brush the edges of rectangles with the egg mixture.
-
Spoon about 1/4 cup spinach mixture onto the center of each rectangle. Top each with 1 tablespoon feta cheese. Fold the pastry in half over the filling and crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Brush the pastries with the egg mixture.
-
Bake the pastries for 25 minutes or until they're golden brown. Let the pastries stand for 10 minutes.
