That sounds like a delicious idea! Here’s a simple recipe for Mediterranean Spinach and Feta Crisps—perfect as a savory snack, appetizer, or light lunch.


🧆 Mediterranean Spinach and Feta Crisps

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped (or 1 ½ cups frozen, thawed and squeezed)
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese or ricotta (optional, for creamier filling)
  • 1 sheet puff pastry or 6 sheets of phyllo dough (depending on style)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Sesame seeds (optional, for topping)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cook the filling:
    • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
    • Sauté onion for 3–4 minutes, until soft.
    • Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
    • Stir in spinach, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook until wilted (or warmed through if using frozen).
    • Remove from heat and mix in feta and cream cheese (if using). Let cool slightly.
  3. Assemble the crisps:
    • For puff pastry: Roll out pastry and cut into squares (around 3×3 inches). Spoon a bit of filling into the center of each square, fold into triangles or leave open-faced, and seal edges with a fork.
    • For phyllo: Layer 2–3 sheets brushed with olive oil or melted butter, cut into strips, add filling, and fold into triangles (like spanakopita).
  4. Brush tops with beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds if desired.
  5. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden and crisp.

Serving Tips:

  • Serve warm or at room temp with a dollop of tzatziki or a squeeze of lemon.
  • Great addition to a mezze platter!
