Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • In a small bowl, combine the 8 ounces crumbled feta, 3 tablespoons finely chopped green onions, and the 1 large egg (lightly beaten). Mix until evenly combined.
  • On a lightly floured surface, unfold the thawed puff pastry and smooth it if needed. Cut the pastry into twelve 3-inch squares.
  • Place a mounded tablespoon of the feta mixture in the center of each square.
  • Brush the edges of each square with some of the 1 large egg yolk beaten with 1 teaspoon water. Fold each square over the filling to form a triangle and firmly press the edges together to seal. Crimp the edges with a fork.
  • Place the sealed pastries on a baking sheet. Lightly brush the tops with any remaining egg yolk mixture.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

You can substitute goat cheese for the feta.
