Cheesy Spinach-artichoke Bagels Recipe

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filling:
   • Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent.
   • Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
   • Add the spinach (if using fresh, cook until wilted; if using frozen, make sure it’s thawed and well-drained) and cook for 2-3 minutes.
   • Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg if using. Stir and set aside to cool slightly.
   • Once the mixture has cooled, add crumbled feta cheese and mix well.
2. Prepare the Pastry:
   • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
   • Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut them into squares or rectangles, depending on the size you prefer.
   • Place a spoonful of the spinach and feta filling in the center of each pastry square.
3. Shape and Seal:
   • Fold the pastry over the filling to create a triangle, rectangle, or any shape you like (you can also make small pockets).
   • Press the edges together with a fork to seal the pastry.
   • Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.
   • Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds or black seeds on top for added flavor and texture.
4. Bake:
   • Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crispy.
5. Serve:
   • Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
   • Enjoy the puff pastry with spinach and feta warm as a delicious appetizer, snack, or side dish.
