πŸ‘©β€πŸ³Β How to Make Them

Step 1: Mix the FillingΒ Combine cream cheese, feta, spinach, onion, and parsley in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until smooth.

Step 2: Prep the PastryΒ Thaw frozen pastry if needed. Roll out to even thickness on a floured surface.

Step 3: Cut into SquaresΒ Slice pastry into 7Γ—7 cm squares for even baking.

Step 4: Fill & FoldΒ Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each square. Fold into triangles or bring all corners to the center. Pinch edges to seal.

Step 5: Egg Wash & TopΒ Place parcels on a lined tray. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.

Step 6: BakeΒ Bake at 190Β°C (375Β°F) for 20–25 minutes until puffed and golden.

Step 7: ServeΒ Let cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.
