Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces crumbled feta cheese
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten
  • 1 package frozen puff pastry 17.3-ounce, thawed and rolled out a little to smooth
  • 1 large egg yolk beaten with 1 teaspoon water

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Pastry Brush
  • Rolling Pin

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, finely chopped green onions, and the lightly beaten egg. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry just a bit to smooth it out.
  3. Using a knife or a pizza cutter, divide the rolled-out pastry into squares, approximately 4 inches by 4 inches.
  4. Place a generous spoonful of the feta and green onion mixture in the center of each pastry square.
  5. Fold the pastry squares over the filling to create triangles. Use a fork to crimp the edges, ensuring they are sealed tightly.
  6. Brush the tops of the sealed pockets with the beaten egg yolk mixed with water.
  7. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper and place your filled pockets on it. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown.

Notes

  • Store uneaten pockets in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze uncooked pockets on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer to a freezer bag.
  • Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes to restore crispiness.
