Ingredients

  • 2 sheets of puff pastry
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 egg, beaten

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, chopped parsley, chopped dill, chopped green onions, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one sheet of puff pastry to a thickness of about 1/8 inch (3mm).
  5. Using a round cookie cutter or a glass, cut out circles from the rolled-out pastry. The size of the circles will depend on how big you want your pies to be.
  6. Place a spoonful of the feta cheese mixture onto one half of each circle of pastry.
  7. Fold over the other half of the pastry circle to cover the filling and press the edges together to seal.
  8. Repeat the process with the remaining puff pastry sheet and feta cheese mixture.
  9. Place the pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  10. Brush the tops of the pies with the beaten egg to give them a golden color.
  11. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the pies are puffed up and golden brown.
  12. Remove from the oven and let the pies cool for a few minutes before serving.
  13. Serve the savory feta pies warm and enjoy!
