Step:

  1. Spread out one of the puff pastry sheets and cut it into a circle. I use one cake ring as a guide.

  3. For the fillingwash the spinach thoroughly, blanch it and then let it strain for 5'. Then cut it and place it in a bowl together with the egg, the herbs, the feta cheese and the breadcrumbs. Attention! Make sure that the filling doesn't have any liquids. If necessary, add more breadcrumbs.

  4. Place about 2 tbsp of filling in the middle of the circle.
