Method
Preparation
- In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook them slowly, occasionally stirring, until they are caramelized and golden brown (about 15-20 minutes).
- Reduce the heat to low; add the chopped spinach to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then remove from heat.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the caramelized onions, spinach, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well to combine all the flavors evenly.
Assembling and Baking
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the flaky pastry on a floured surface. Cut it into rectangles, approximately 4x6 inches.
- Place a generous tablespoon of the filling mixture onto one half of each pastry rectangle, leaving space around the edges. Fold over the pastry and pinch the edges to seal tightly.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg until combined. Brush the top of each pastry with the egg wash to give them a beautiful golden color when baked.
- Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.
- Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve warm. Enjoy!
Notes
For optimal taste, allow the onions to caramelize slowly. You can experiment with different cheeses like feta or gouda. Ensure edges are well sealed to prevent filling from leaking.
