Ingredients
  • Frozen puff pastry dough
  • 1 package frozen spinach
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (your choice)
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 tbs of fresh oregano leaves
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of dried thyme
Instructions
  1. Let the dough thaw in the fridge for a few hours, or thaw it at room temperature for 20-30 minutes (not more–you want it to be very cold). Preheat the oven to 400. Lay a sheet of the pastry dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Using a fork, stab little holes all over the middle of the pastry square — leave about a ¼ to ½ inch border around it. This will ensure that the edges puff up while the middle, where you’ll lay the toppings, stays put.
  3. Top with one bag of thawed & drained frozen spinach plus cheese of choice ( I used shredded sheep’s milk cheese), some fresh oregano leaves, and salt & dried thyme.
  4. After adding the toppings, paint the edges with egg wash (a.k.a. a beaten egg) which helps the pastry come out shiny and golden. Then bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes or until edges are golden brown and puffed, and ingredients in the middle look cooked.
