Cheesy Spinach St￭ Pastry is an irresistible combination of flaky pastry and a creamy spinach filling that is perfect for any occasion. This savory dish brings together the delightful flavors of spinach and cheese, making it a favorite among vegetarian pastry dishes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Blend in the cold cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the cold water, mixing until the dough begins to come together. Avoid overmixing. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, approximately 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the spinach and onion mixture with ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a floured surface, roll out the chilled pastry dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into squares or circles.
Place a spoonful of the spinach and cheese filling in the center of each pastry shape. Fold the pastry and seal the edges.
Transfer the pastries to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with beaten egg.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until p￭ and golden brown.
