Spinach and Feta Triangles Recipe
- Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Grease and line two trays with baking paper.
- Place ricotta, feta, parmesan, spinach, and egg into a large bowl; stir until combined.
- Place pastry sheets on a bench and cut in half diagonally and then again in the opposite direction until you have 4 triangles. 3 sheets will make twelve triangles.
- Brush each edge of the pastry with the extra whisked egg before adding a tbsp of filling to the triangle. Arrange your filling so that when you fold the pastry over to cover it, the filling is spread out evenly.
- Fold the pastry in half to enclose the filling and use the edge of a fork to push the open sides of the pastry together. Repeat the process until all the pastry and mixture has been used. Use any leftover whisked egg to brush over the tops of the triangles.
- Place triangles on tray and bake for 25 minutes or until the pastry is golden and crispy. Serve immediately.
Spinach and Feta Triangles FAQs
Can I substitute other cheeses in this spinach and feta triangles recipe?
Absolutely! If you’re out of feta, try using cottage cheese or goat cheese for a similar tang, and swap parmesan for pecorino or another hard cheese you prefer.
Can I add more vegetables to the spinach and feta filling?
Yes! You can add finely chopped vegetables like mushrooms, red peppers, or even grated carrots to the spinach and feta mixture for added flavour and variety.
How do I prevent the filling from leaking out of my spinach feta triangles?
To avoid leaks, make sure to brush the edges with whisked egg before sealing and press down firmly with a fork. This helps the pastry stay closed as it bakes.
Can I add herbs or spices to the spinach and feta filling?
Definitely! Fresh herbs like dill, parsley, or basil add a lovely flavour. You can also try a pinch of nutmeg or black pepper for extra depth in the filling.
What can I serve with spinach and feta triangles?
Spinach and feta triangles can be used to make a filling meal for little ones paired with some sides. For a fresh touch, serve them with cut tomatoes or stick cucumbers, or soft-cooked veggies like carrots or zucchini. For something a bit heartier, try pairing them with a small serving of mild lentil puree or a scoop of mashed sweet potatoes.
