Cooked spinach is not only very tasty, but also incredibly healthy, just a storehouse of vitamins. Try our spinach and cheese puff pastry pie. You will fall in love with this dish forever.

Composition of products

0.5 kg of ready-made puff pastry in a roll;
0.4 kg frozen spinach (or 0.8 kg fresh);
2 chicken eggs;
dry basil - 1/3 tsp;
dry rosemary - 1/3 tsp;
hot pepper - to taste;
black sesame (or poppy) - 1 tbsp;
feta cheese 200 g (can be replaced with soft cheese in the same amount);
hard cheese (any) - 200 g;
onion - 1 medium head;
butter - 50 g.

How to prepare the stuffing

Properly prepared filling is 90% of the success of your pie. Therefore, the quality of all the ingredients that it includes is important.

Option 1

1. Remove the frozen spinach from the refrigerator and let it thaw. Unlike dough, you can use the microwave to defrost it. If the spinach is fresh, pour boiling water over it and let the water drain. Then chop finely.

2. Chop the onion finely.

3. Throw a piece of butter and onion into a preheated pan, add basil and rosemary. When the onion turns golden, add the spinach to it. Hold them together in a pan for literally 2 minutes and remove. Drain the onion-spinach mixture in a colander to drain off the oil and excess liquid. Then add one a raw egg and stir. Pepper to taste.

4. Grate hard cheese. Any will do, but it is better if the cheese is not bland. In general, maintain a salt balance between cheeses. If you have very salty feta, hard cheese should be unsalted, and vice versa.

5. Break the feta into pieces. If you use cheese, do the same with it - do not cut it, but break it.

6. Toss cheeses and spinach with onions. The filling for the spinach and puff pastry pie is ready.

Option 2

Instead of feta, you can safely use cheese. Actually, for the rest, you can repeat the method of preparing the filling No. 1. But you can do it differently.

Spinach can not be fried, but simply thawed and allowed to drain excess moisture. If you have fresh spinach, boil it for 2-3 minutes, then drain it in a colander and chop finely.

Give up hard cheese altogether and use cottage cheese as an addition to cheese, in equal proportions with it.

Mix cheese, cottage cheese, spinach (without onions) and add finely chopped dill to them. Crack one raw egg and stir. This version of the filling is cheaper. The taste of the pie will not be worse - just different. Try and choose your option.

Collecting the snail

The most unusual thing about this cake is its shape. If you have never made a snail from puff pastry, try it now. The cake is original and very beautiful.

1. Take puff pastry in rolls and let it thaw natural way. Flatten the dough, sprinkle with a little flour.

2. Without rolling it, divide it into 4-5 strips. The more stripes (and the thinner they are), the more beautiful the cake will be. But, on the other hand, it is more difficult to connect it. Therefore, decide for yourself whether you want to spend time and make the cake prettier or better quickly.

3. On each strip of dough, throughout its entire length, lay out the filling.

Then take the edges of the strip, connect them, gluing together. Pull back a little, adjusting the filling so that it does not crawl out and remains inside the dough. You should get 4-5 sausages from dough with spinach filling.

4. And then just take and twist the strip after strip into a spiral. As a result, you should get one large flat "snail". Lubricate it with whipped protein (without yolk) and sprinkle with sesame seeds or poppy seeds on top.

Bake layered cake with spinach you need in the oven at a temperature of 200 degrees for 20 minutes. Then lower the temperature to 180 degrees and hold in the oven for another 10 minutes.

That's all. The pie is ready. If you used yeast puff pastry, then you will get pastries with soft crust if fresh - then crispy. Both options are equally delicious.

Drain the spinach in a colander, squeeze lightly and leave to cool completely.

Step-by-step assembly of the pie: put the dough in a baking dish, put the filling in the center, level it (note: the filling should not be higher than the sides of the dough). We cover the top of the cake with a second rolled layer (sizes like the form itself). The edges of the dough can not pinch, but leave it like that.
Pierce the top dough with a fork so that excess moisture comes out of the filling during baking.
We grease the top and edges of the joints of the dough with a beaten egg and send it to the oven preheated to 180-190 degrees for 20-30 minutes. As soon as the top is browned - the pie is ready!
