I’m sure at this very moment, stuck in a hotel I’m dreaming of these delicious Spinach Feta Tarts I made about two weeks ago before the true packing began. It was another recipe inspired by items in the freezer that needed to be used up or tossed before the move-this time it was phyllo dough that sparked the creation!

I can tell you that I. Love. These. Tarts.  I would eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner! They remind me of little spanakopita pies!

{Psstt…I sorta did for a few days there after I made them!}

Why I love this recipe

The puff pastry sheets makes these tarts seem extra special fancy but in reality, they are super easy to pull together and require only a teeny bit of prep work.  They are also fantastic for entertaining-sure to impress.

Serving suggestions

These are an elegant finger food for a party so I would serve them alongside other deceptively easy yet “fancy” appetizers like our blueberry caprese skewers or Boursin and bacon puff pastries and a delicious champagne punch or strawberry sangria.

Storage

While these puff pastries are best served fresh, you can store any leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days. I recommend reheating in an air fryer or oven to keep the crust from getting soggy.

  1. 7. Whisk eggs in small bowl and add eggs and feta.

    That’s a bit confusing – do you mean “and add eggs and feta to the spinach and onions?”
