How to Make Mediterranean Spinach Feta Crisps
Step 1: Preheat Oven
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
- In a skillet, sauté onion and garlic until soft (about 2–3 minutes).

- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Stir in crumbled feta, oregano, and black pepper.
Step 3: Prepare Puff Pastry

- Cut into 1-inch squares or rectangles.
Step 4: Assemble the Crisps
- Place a small spoonful of the spinach-feta mixture in the center of each puff pastry square.
- Fold or pinch edges to seal if desired (or leave open for a rustic look).
- Brush tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Optional: sprinkle sesame seeds or seasoning on top.
Step 5: Bake
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
