– **Egg wash**: Brush each pocket with a little **beaten egg** to give them a golden, shiny finish when baked.
– **Bake**: Place the assembled pockets onto the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about **20-25 minutes**, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crisp.
### Tips for Perfect Spinach and Feta Puff Pastry Pockets
– **Use fresh spinach**: While frozen spinach is a great substitute, using fresh spinach gives a fresher flavor and texture. Just be sure to remove any excess water from cooked spinach to avoid a soggy filling.
– **Make it vegetarian or add protein**: If you want to make these pockets heartier, feel free to add some cooked chicken, bacon, or even pine nuts for extra texture and flavor.
– **Make it ahead**: These pockets can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the fridge for a few hours before baking. You can also freeze them before baking and pop them into the oven directly from the freezer when you’re ready to eat.
These pockets are everything you want in a savory pastry: flaky, warm, and full of delicious, cheesy goodness. The combination of fresh spinach and feta creates a creamy filling with just the right amount of tang, while the puff pastry adds a light, buttery crunch that perfectly complements the savory filling.
