Ingredients

  • 2 packages frozen spinach (10 oz.), cooked, drained, and chopped
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1⁄4 onion, chopped and sautéed
  • 4 oz. feta cheese, crumbled into small pieces
  • 1⁄2 tsp. salt
  • 1⁄4 tsp. pepper
  • 6 sheets puff pastry (5-inch square)
  • 1⁄4 cup butter, melted

Directions

  • Preheat the panini press. In a large bowl, combine the spinach, olive oil, onion, feta cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  • Brush both sides of puff pastry sheets with butter. Place on panini press and do not close the lid. Cook for 2 to 4 minutes and remove. Repeat until a single side of each of the sheets is cooked.
