Ingredients

• 1 package of pre-made croissant dough (halal-certified)
• 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
• 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• Fresh herbs, such as parsley, for garnish
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet, cooking until wilted, approximately 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then remove from heat.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach and crumbled feta cheese.
5. Unroll the croissant dough and separate it into individual triangles as guided by the package instructions.
6. Place a spoonful of the spinach and feta mixture onto the wider end of each triangle.
7. Carefully roll up each croissant, starting from the wide end, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
8. Brush the tops of the croissants with the beaten egg to give them a golden, glossy finish. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and fully cooked through.
10. Once baked, allow the croissants to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm.

Helpful Tips

• For a creamier filling, add a couple of tablespoons of cream cheese to the spinach and feta mixture.
• If you don’t have fresh spinach, frozen spinach works as well. Just ensure it’s thoroughly drained before using.
• These croissants can be made ahead of time and reheated in a warm oven before serving.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftover croissants in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes, or until warmed through.

Pairings

Pair these delightful croissants with a fresh green salad, a cup of rich espresso, or a light fruit compote for a perfect breakfast or brunch combination. A bouquet of fresh flowers on the table adds to the sophisticated ambiance.
