Ingredients:
- 4 gluten free puff pastry sheets
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 egg, lightly whisked with a dash of water for egg wash
- 75g baby spinach, roughly chopped
- 250g ricotta cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Method:
- Preheat oven to 210°c (fan forced).
- Microwave the spinach for 1 minute, or until wilted. Remove any excess water to prevent a watery filling.
- In a bowl, combine the wilted spinach, ricotta cheese, parmesan, salt, and pepper until combined.
- Cut each pastry sheet into four squares (approximately 9 x 9 cm each)
- Spoon one tablespoon of the spinach mixture onto one corner of each pastry square.
- Fold the pastry diagonally to form a triangle. Press the edges together to seal.
- Brush the top of each triangle with the egg wash.
- Arrange triangles on a flat baking tray, ensuring there is a gap in between each.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly and serve warm, or let cool completely for serving cold.
Tips & Tricks:
- Crimp to seal: Use a fork to crimp the edges of your pastry triangles. This not only ensures a better seal but also adds a decorative touch.
- Keep them fresh: Keep your pastries fresh by storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’ll last up to one week.
- Freeze for later: After baking, freeze the triangles by laying them flat on a tray. Once they’re solid, transfer them to a freezer bag. This method prevents them from sticking together in one big clump. When you’re ready to enjoy them, bake directly from frozen until reheated.
