Ingredients

  • 200g feta cheese crumbled
  • 125g mozzarella cheese roughly torn
  • 300g spinach wilted and roughly chopped
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon chilli oil (I use LaoGanMa) add more if you like extra spice
  • 1 packet of filo pastry (7 sheets)
  • 50g butter melted
  • Chilli flakes for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180C fan/ 355F.
  • Crumble up your feta with your hands into a bowl and combine it with your torn mozzarella, wilted spinach, egg, and chilli oil in a bowl. Mix thoroughly until broken down and well combined.
  • Grab a sheet of filo pastry and brush half of one long side with melted better. Fold over lengthways in half and seal. Place a large spoonful of the feta mixture at the bottom of the rectangle. Fold up in a triangular motion and butter the end of the strip, fold over and seal. Repeat this for all the sheets of pastry.
  • Place the pastries on a baking tray and brush with more melted butter and sprinkle with chilli flakes. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes or until golden and crispy.
  • Remove from the oven, let them cool down for 10 minutes, and then enjoy!

Top Tips!
  1. Don't overfill your parcels. Make sure to leave enough space for the filling to expand and cook, you don't want them overflowing and seeping out of the pastries. 
  2. If you want to air fry your chili oil spinach feta pastries, place them into the air fryer for 20 minutes at 160C/320F until golden and crispy.
  3. Feel free to double the quantities to make more!
Storage: Place the cooled chili oil feta spinach pastries in an airtight container or in aluminium foil. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days and follow reheating instructions below or eat them chilled.
Freezing: You can freeze these pastries, however, the texture may change once thawed. To freeze, wrap them in plastic wrap and then in an airtight container or plastic bag. Freeze for up to 3 months and then leave to thaw in the fridge overnight.
Reheating: To reheat, place the pastries in the oven at 180C/350F for 10 minutes or until hot.
