#Feta Cheese Appetizer

[justforbooks]

The Greek way (Outrageously Delicious Feta Cheese Appetizer).

When we say “pita” when it involves Greek food, we’re not thinking about the flatbread. In Greek cuisine, “pita” means “pie”, and it can be sweet, but it is very often savory. You’ve probably heard of Spanakopita, that Greek spinach and feta pie that is wrapped in a flaky phyllo dough crust. But have you heard of the lesser known, but still wildly delicious Tiropita?

Tiropita (or tyropita) is a Greek pie made from layers of phyllo dough that are filled with a cheese and egg mixture. In Greece, this is a popular breakfast food that is also commonly eaten during the day as a snack. Seriously, I have a weakness for anything wrapped in phyllo dough, so I could eat these ANY time of day!

GARLIC FETA FLATBREADS

Prep Time: 30 mins

Cook Time: 10 mins

Servings: 4 breads

INGREDIENTS

FOR THE FLATBREADS

1 ⅔ cups self-raising flour

¾ cup greek yogurt

FOR THE FILLING

½ cup feta, crushed

2 tbsp cream cheese

Handful of basil leaves, finely chopped

3 cups spinach, wilted with boiling water, squeezed and roughly chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 tsp black pepper

SERVING

1 tbsp fresh basil, finely chopped

1 tbsp olive oil

DIRECTIONS

In a large bowl, add in your self-raising flour and Greek yogurt. Mix with chopsticks or your hands and then knead for 5 minutes until you have a bouncy soft dough. Add more flour if the dough is too sticky. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside while you make your filling.

Place all of your filling ingredients into a bowl and combine thoroughly (make sure all the water is strained out of the spinach before adding it to your mixture). Set aside.

Once your dough has rested, knead it again for 30 seconds and then slice into 4 equal-sized pieces.

Take one dough ball and lightly flatten with your fingers until it’s around 3/4 inch thick. Place a large tbsp of the filling into the center of the dough and then bring in all the corners of the dough into the center, around the feta mixture, and seal the ball. Turn the ball over face down and flatten out the dough with your fingers until the flatbread is around 1/2 inch thick. Set aside with a sprinkle of flour and repeat for the other flatbreads.

Place a non-stick dry pan on medium to high heat.

Gently place your flatbreads into the pan and fry for 3-5 minutes on each side. Keep an eye on them. Flip them over when they turn golden-brown.

Meanwhile, combine your basil and olive oil in a small bowl ready to serve.

Serve while they're warm or once they've cooled down with your sauce and enjoy!

Spinach Puffs

Chef’s Notes: They look very pretty. Smells lemony, but doesn’t taste it. Tastes like creamed baked spinach, but comes together with the crispy shell

Ingredients

1 Tbsp vegetable oil

1/3 cup onion, finely chopped

Kosher salt

2 garlic clove, minced

4 oz cream cheese, softened

1 + 1 eggs

1 package (10 oz) frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed as dry as possible

3/4 cup crumbled feta

2 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped

2 tsp lemon zest

Cooking spray

All-purpose flour, for rolling puff pastry 

1 sheet from 1 (17.3-oz) package puff pastry, thawed in the refrigerator

Instructions

1. In a medium skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds more. Remove from heat.

2. In a large bowl, stir together cream cheese and 1 egg. Stir in garlic-onion mixture, spinach, feta, dill, and lemon zest and season with salt and pepper.

3. Grease 9 cups of a regular-sized muffin tin with cooking spray.

If doing mini, it’s a double batch

4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to a 12-inch square. Cut into 9 smaller squares, each about 4-inch wide.

5. Ease each puff pastry square into a greased muffin cup, letting the corners hang over the sides.

6. Add about 2½ tablespoons of filling to the center of each.

7. Fold in pastry corners to meet in the center over the filling and pinch together. Refrigerate for 30 minutes (or freeze for 15 minutes).

8. Meanwhile, adjust an oven rack to center position and preheat the oven to 400°F.

9. Beat remaining egg in a small bowl with 1 teaspoon water. Brush on top of the chilled pastry.

10. Bake until puffed and golden brown on the bottom, about 25 minutes. Let cool slightly before lifting out of the muffin tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.
