Ingredients
- 1 (10-ounce) package frozen spinach
- 1/4-pound firm feta cheese, coarsely crumbled
Directions
2 cloves garlic, pressed
- About 20 grinds black pepper
- Small dash nutmeg
- Flour, for dusting
- 1 (10 by 9.5-inch) piece of packaged puff pastry
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Thaw frozen spinach in microwave according to package directions or by running under warm water. Drain spinach, squeezing the excess liquid from it. In a bowl, mix the spinach, feta, garlic, pepper, and nutmeg together.
Flour a clean, dry countertop or other flat working surface. Lay out the puff pasty on the floured surface. Flour the top of the dough. Roll out the puff pastry until it is half as thick (about 1/8-inch) and about 24 by 12 inches. Trim edges to size if necessary. Cut into 3-inch strips crosswise and lengthwise, making 32 (3-inch) squares. Make sure the squares are well floured then stack them in a little pile.
Fill a little dish with some room temperature water. Imagine each square you work with is separated in half by a diagonal. Place a couple teaspoons of filling in the top half. Dip a finger into the water and moisten the edges of the top half with water. Fold the bottom half to meet the edges of the top half. Use a fork to seal the edges.
Place finished pockets on a nonstick baking sheet and bake about 15 minutes until golden brown and puffy. Serve warm.

I made these for a party and used wonton wrappers instead and added 1/4 cup of light cream cheese for creaminess. They are delicous!

I have always made the traditional Spanokopita, which is delicious but very time consuming. This recipe was a huge hit at a office pot luck lunch. I have altered the filling to include 3 ounces of cream cheese and 1 egg and 3 ounces of diced roasted crimini mushrooms. I had never thought about using puff pastry for spanokopita, Great idea Dave! thanks!!!
