Flaky, golden, and savory, these Feta Cheese Foldovers are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. Crispy on the outside, soft and cheesy on the inside, they’re easy to make with puff pastry.
Ingredients (Serves 6–8)
-
1 sheet frozen puff pastry (thawed)
-
1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
-
¼ cup cream cheese, softened
-
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
-
1 teaspoon dried oregano
-
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
Preheat oven:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. -
Prepare the filling:
In a small bowl, combine feta cheese, cream cheese, oregano, parsley (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth. -
Cut and fill pastry:
Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet slightly. Cut into 6–8 equal rectangles.
Spoon about 1–2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture onto one half of each rectangle. -
Fold and seal:
Fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle or rectangle. Press edges with a fork to seal. -
Brush with egg wash:
Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden, glossy finish. -
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. -
Serve:
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as a snack, appetizer, or part of a brunch spread.
Tips & Variations
-
Add herbs: Fresh dill, thyme, or chives add extra flavor.
-
Vegetable twist: Add sautéed spinach, roasted red peppers, or caramelized onions to the filling.
-
Make ahead: Assemble foldovers and freeze on a baking sheet; bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to cooking time.
-
Cheese swap: Substitute goat cheese or ricotta for a creamier texture.
