✶ Spring Mix Pie with Puff Pastry ✶
What can be better than fast and tasty dinner. This pie is so fluffy, crusty from outside, soft and tender from inside. Spring mix greens with feta cheese mixture gives that unique taste, that will leave you wanting more.
🔘Ingredients:
1 yellow onion (diced)
312 g(1 pack) spring mix (chopped) 2 tbsp olive oil
100 g feta cheese (cubed)
425g puff pastry
1egg yolk +1 tbsp milk (egg wash) Sesame seeds (optional)
1 tsp black pepper
2 tsp smoked paprika
Salt to taste
🔘Prep and Cooking/Baking Process:
Preheat oven to 375F/190C.
In the medium pan heat olive oil for a min. Add diced onions and saute for 4-5 minutes or until it will be golden color.
In the medium bowl put chopped spring mix, add sauteed onions, 3⁄4 of feta cheese and season with black pepper, smoked paprika and salt. Mix everything well and transfer to a medium pan. Cook for 5- 10 min or until greens will become a little softer. Remove from heat and set aside to cool down. Unwrap puff pastry and divide into two, like on the video. Transfer half puff pastry to a prepared baking sheet with parchment paper, evenly spread over with spring mix mixture, also spread some bits of feta cheese on top and cover with other half of puff pastry. Press your fingers all around the edges to seal and then crimp with a fork (my baking sheet was a little small, that why I had some left over pastry and I made some cute art, it is optional though). Brush the top of the pie crust with egg wash mixture, sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for 35 minutes or until the pie is golden brown on top and around the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 min. Serve and Enjoy♥️

This spring mix pie is an excellent way to enjoy a nutritious and flavorful meal using simple ingredients like spring mix greens and feta cheese wrapped in buttery puff pastry. The combination of sautéed yellow onions with smoked paprika and black pepper adds a warm, peppery aroma to the filling, enhancing the natural freshness of the greens. Puff pastry creates a perfect flaky crust that is crispy on the outside while keeping the inside soft and tender. When preparing the spring mix filling, it is important to gently sauté the greens just enough to soften them without losing their vibrant color and nutrients. This process helps reduce moisture, preventing the pie from becoming soggy. Using a mix of fresh spring greens such as baby spinach, arugula, and other tender leaves adds both flavor and texture. Feta cheese contributes a tangy, creamy element that complements the greens well, balancing the smoky spices. Cubing the feta rather than crumbling it helps to create little pockets of cheese within the pie for bursts of flavor in every bite. For an extra touch of texture and flavor, lightly sprinkling sesame seeds on the egg-washed puff pastry crust before baking adds a subtle nuttiness and an appealing golden finish. This is a great idea for presentation as well. This recipe is ideal for home cooks seeking a quick and wholesome meal option. It pairs wonderfully with a crisp green salad or a light tomato soup for a complete and satisfying dinner. Additionally, the spices used can be adjusted to taste; for example, you can add a pinch of chili flakes for a mild heat or fresh herbs like dill and parsley to elevate the freshness. Overall, this spring mix pie with puff pastry is a versatile dish perfect for seasonal cooking, allowing users to enjoy various greens with a delicious Mediterranean twist provided by the feta and smoked paprika.
