👩‍🍳 How to Make Them

Step 1: Mix the Filling Combine cream cheese, feta, spinach, onion, and parsley in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until smooth.

Step 2: Prep the Pastry Thaw frozen pastry if needed. Roll out to even thickness on a floured surface.

Step 3: Cut into Squares Slice pastry into 7×7 cm squares for even baking.

Step 4: Fill & Fold Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each square. Fold into triangles or bring all corners to the center. Pinch edges to seal.

Step 5: Egg Wash & Top Place parcels on a lined tray. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.

Step 6: Bake Bake at 190°C (375°F) for 20–25 minutes until puffed and golden.

Step 7: Serve Let cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.

💡 Tips for Flaky Success

  • Don’t overfill — it causes leaks
  • Keep pastry cold — work quickly
  • Seal edges well — keeps filling inside
  • Use parchment — easy cleanup
  • Make ahead — freeze unbaked parcels and bake straight from frozen

🌿 Flavor Twists

  • Spinach & Ricotta – Swap feta for a milder taste
  • Mushroom & Cheese – Sauté mushrooms before mixing
  • Ham & Cheese – Add diced ham for a savory bite
  • Sweet Apple Cinnamon – Use apples, sugar, and cinnamon for dessert parcels
