Ingredients
Scale
Pastry Base
- 1 rectangular puff pastry sheet (250g), defrosted
- 1 egg, for brushing
Savory Filling
- 2 cups fresh spinach, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, grated
- ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ½ cup ricotta
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 lemon, zested
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup pistachios, toasted and chopped
Optional Toppings
- 1 tsp sesame or poppy seeds
- Extra pistachio crumbs
- A few sprigs of fresh thyme
Instructions
- In a skillet, sauté garlic in olive oil until soft. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Let cool completely.
- Mix spinach with feta, ricotta, lemon zest, nutmeg, and pistachios. Add salt and pepper to balance.
- Unroll the pastry onto a lined tray. Cut a 2-inch circle in the center. From that center hole, cut outward in equal lines to form rays.
- Spoon the mixture evenly around the ring, avoiding the center. Fold the rays over the filling, tucking them to seal.
- Brush the surface with beaten egg and sprinkle toppings.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temp.
Notes
- For a variation, try adding some sun-dried tomatoes or caramelized onions to the filling.
- This wreath is best served fresh but can be reheated in a low oven if needed.
