Ingredients
  

Filling Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups fresh spinach, chopped (or 1 package frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg (optional, but highly recommended)
  • ½ tsp dried oregano or dill
  • ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 each egg, lightly beaten (to help bind the filling)
Dough Options
  • Option 1: Phyllo Dough Use phyllo dough for a light, crisp texture. Brush each layer with melted butter or olive oil. Stack 3–4 layers for sturdier pastries.
  • Option 2: Puff Pastry Use puff pastry for a buttery, flaky result. Thaw according to package instructions and cut into squares or rectangles.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Stir in spinach and cook until wilted (or heated through, if using frozen).
  5. Remove from heat and season with salt, pepper, nutmeg, and herbs.
  6. Let cool slightly, then stir in the feta and beaten egg.
Assembly
  1. For phyllo dough: Place 3–4 stacked, oiled layers on a work surface. Add 1–2 tablespoons of filling at one end and fold into triangles or roll into logs.
  2. For puff pastry: Cut into 3- or 4-inch squares. Place filling in the center and fold diagonally into a triangle, or fold over and press edges with a fork to seal.
Baking
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place filled pastries on a lined baking sheet.
  3. Brush tops lightly with olive oil or a beaten egg for a golden finish.
  4. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.

Notes

To store, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in oven or air fryer to keep crisp. To freeze, assemble and freeze unbaked crisps on a tray, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes.
