Spinach Pastry Recipe in the Village – How to make homemade crispy and fresh spinach pastry?

Here’s a simple recipe for spinach pastry that you might enjoy making:

Ingredients:

1 package of phyllo pastry dough (usually contains about 20 sheets)
500g fresh spinach, washed and chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
200g feta cheese, crumbled
100g ricotta cheese
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Sesame seeds for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the onion and garlic until softened.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
In a large bowl, mix the feta cheese, ricotta cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Add the cooled spinach mixture and combine well.
Lay out one sheet of phyllo pastry dough on a clean surface and brush it lightly with olive oil. Place another sheet on top and brush with olive oil again. Repeat with 2 more sheets, so you have 4 layers.
Cut the layered phyllo dough into 3-inch wide strips.
Place a spoonful of the spinach mixture at the bottom of each strip and fold it over diagonally to form a triangle. Continue folding the triangle over itself until you reach the end of the strip.
Place the spinach pastry triangles on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with olive oil. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy your homemade spinach pastries!
