How to Make Spinach Stuffed Pastry Step by Step

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

• Spinach

• Parmesan
• Garlic
• Salt
• Pepper
• Italian seasoning

Mix until smooth and well combined.

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Roll out puff pastry slightly on a lightly floured surface.

Cut into rectangles or squares, depending on your desired shape.

Step 3: Fill and Seal

Place a spoonful of spinach mixture in the center of each piece.

Fold pastry over to form triangles or rectangles.

Press edges with a fork to seal.

Step 4: Egg Wash and Bake

Whisk egg with 1 tablespoon water.

Brush egg wash over each pastry for a golden finish.

Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.

Let cool slightly before serving.
