Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for Mediterranean Spinach and Feta Crisps—perfect as a snack, appetizer, or party bite.
Ingredients (makes ~12–15 crisps)
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 small onion or shallot, finely chopped (optional)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp lemon zest (optional, for freshness)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil for sautéing
Instructions
- Preheat oven:
- Preheat to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the filling:
- Heat a little olive oil in a pan.
- Sauté onion and garlic until soft.
- Add spinach and cook until wilted.
- Remove from heat and stir in feta, oregano, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Let it cool slightly.
- Prepare the pastry:
- Roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.
- Cut into small squares or rectangles (~2–3 inches).
- Assemble crisps:
- Place a spoonful of the spinach and feta mixture in the center of each pastry square.
- Fold the edges over slightly or leave open (like little tarts).
- Brush the edges with beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake:
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Serve:
- Let cool slightly and enjoy warm.
✅ Tip:
- You can add chopped sun-dried tomatoes or olives for extra Mediterranean flavor.
- These crisps are also great to make ahead and reheat briefly in the oven before serving.
If you want, I can also give a mini crisp version that’s perfect for finger food or parties, where you can make 24–30 bite-sized pieces. Do you want that version?
