SPINACH PIE IN PUFF PASTRY (SPANAKOPITA)
Modified from a recipe by Ina Garten. We've made this a few times for dinner, and it turned out delicious as well as beautiful. The puff pastry is much easier to work with than phyllo dough, so this comes together fairly quickly.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375. Line a baking sheet with parchment (preferable) but you can use aluminum foil with a light spray of cooking oil.
- Melt butter and cook onions for a few minutes, until soft. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
- Beat eggs in medium bowl. Add cooked onion, spinach, feta, parmesan, bread crumbs. Add salt, pepper, & nutmeg. Mix well with fork.
- Place one unfolded sheet of puff pastry on the parchment or sprayed aluminum foil. Spread the spinach mixture over the pastry, leaving a border of one inch all around the edges. Keep the spinach flat; do not pile high.
- Brush the edges with the egg wash made with the last egg. Cover with the second sheet of pastry that has been slightly flattened with a rolling pin to one inch bigger than the first sheet. (This ensures all the spinach will be covered). Press edges together with fingertips or fork, making sure mixture is sealed well. Brush just the top with egg wash, careful not to drip any down the sides. Cut a few slits in the top with a sharp knife to allow steam to escape.
- Bake 30-40 minutes, until golden brown. Can be served hot or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Squeeze out any excess liquid from thawed spinach until it is as dry as possible. In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter, then add diced shallots and garlic and cook 2-3 minutes, until shallots become translucent. Sprinkle flour into the skillet, whisking for 1-2 minutes until it lightly browns.
- Add nutmeg, then slowly add heavy cream, whisking continuously, until the sauce begins to thicken, about 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in white cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese.
- Dice cooked bacon strips and add to the cheese sauce, reserving 2 strips to top the pastries later. Stir until the cheese melts completely, then salt to taste.
- Add spinach to the mixture and stir to combine.
- Finally, remove from the heat and begin preparing your puff pastry. On a lightly floured surface, unfold the thawed puff pastry and roll each into a 12-inch square sheet.
- Cut each pastry sheet into 9 even squares. Place into greased muffin cups, pressing gently on the bottoms and up the sides, so the corners point up.
- Fill each cup with 2 Tablespoons of the creamed spinach mixture.
- Top with remaining chopped bacon.
- In a small bowl, mix egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the top of the puff pastry, then add to the oven.
- Bake 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Serve, and enjoy!

Steps:
- 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.

SPINACH ROLLS WITH PUFF PASTRY
A vegetarian version of mini sausage rolls but made with a spinach and feta filling. I used frozen spinach because it was a better buy than fresh at the time but the equivalent amount of fresh spinach, chopped and wilted, would do the job.

SPINACH STUFFED PUFF PASTRY CUPS
Puff pastry is so fun to cook with! I like to make this as an appetizer. Puff pastry always looks so elegant and guests always give me a "How did you make this" reaction. It also makes a great lunch on its own. Always be sure to fully squeeze all the water out of the spinach. Other wise the whole thing will be a pool of mushy goo! For extra flavor, try adding 1/3 cup sauteed onions.
