Golden cheese and herb puffs, filled with feta cheese, fresh onion, garlic, and dill.
Ingredients
  • 2 sheets puff pastry
  • 2 T butter, melted
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk (for egg wash)
  • 1 pack feta cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 T chopped dill
  • 2 T chopped spring onion
Instructions
  1. Take puff pastry out of the freezer and let it defrost for about 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 365F.
  2. In the meantime, make the filling: grate the feta cheese into a bowl, add 1 egg, melted butter, garlic, and herbs. Mix well to combine.
  3. Roll out the pastry sheets to a rectangular shape. Cut each sheet into 6 squares. Put 3 T of filling in the middle of each square and fold it up (like a dumpling), pinching the sides and the top.
  4. Spread the cheese and herb puffs out on a baking sheet - you will likely need two - lined with baking paper.
  5. Brush with egg wash and bake for 20-25 minutes until opened up and golden.
