Herringbone puff pastry with spinach, feta and Greek yogurt


Do you want to please and surprise your loved ones by placing an unusual dish on the festive table? Yes, easily!

To bake a layered “Christmas tree” stuffed with spinach and cheese you will need:

  • 170 gr. frozen spinach (chopped, thawed and drained)
  • 110 g grated mozzarella
  • 60 g feta cheese
  • 70 g Greek yogurt FAGE (5% fat)
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 2 artichoke hearts (chopped)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper (spices to taste)
  • 2 sheets of puff pastry
  • 45 g grated parmesan
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds.

Also, to grease the Christmas tree before placing it in the oven you will need:

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon milk.

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 190 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine spinach, mozzarella, feta cheese, yogurt, garlic, artichokes and black pepper.
Unroll the puff pastry sheet and place it on the baking sheet. Cut out a triangle shape, like a Christmas tree.
Spread the spinach mixture and place a second layer of tree puff pastry on top of the spinach layer.
Gently press the sides of the “tree” (make a “pinch”).
Cut strips 2.5 cm thick on each side and twist each one.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg and milk. Brush the Christmas tree with the mixture.
Sprinkle sesame seeds and grated Parmesan on top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
