Spanikopita

I thought I had posted this before, but it seems as if it is one I have forgotten.

Spankopita

1 package of Puff Pastry dough thawed and cut in to 2x2 squares. (makes about 22, if you like larger it works)
1 10oz package of frozen chopped spinach (thawed and drained)
1 4oz container of Feta Cheese crumbled
1 egg
1 tbs chopped parsley
1 tbs chopped basil
2 cloves garlic
1 whole yellow onion
1 tbs olive oil
2 oz of Romano or Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Dice onion and mince garlic. In a small skillet heat olive oil and saute onion and garlic together until golden brown. Allow to cool. In a bowl mix spinach, feta, parsley, basil, and Romano/Parmesan cheese. Add in onion and garlic mixture. Mix well. Beat egg and toss with spinach filling. Add salt and pepper to taste and toss.

Place a small spoon full of the mixture in each pastry square. Fold and pinch sides together making small spinach filled pockets until all dough is used.

Place on a greased baking sheet and bake at 350 for 25 min or until golden brown.
