Steps

30 minutes

1

Clean the spinach and green onions thoroughly, then wash them well. Place them in a pot with a little water and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan.
2

In a bowl, crumble the feta cheese well with your hands. Add the dill, mint, salt, and pepper, and mix everything together.
3

Once the spinach has boiled, remove from heat and drain very well in a colander to remove all excess liquid. When fully drained, add it to the bowl with the feta and other ingredients, and mix everything together.
4

Butter a baking pan and lay down one sheet of puff pastry. Pour half of the melted butter over it. Then add the spinach and feta mixture on top.
5

Place the second sheet of puff pastry on top, score the pie, and pour the remaining melted butter over it. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
6

Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 30 minutes.
