Baked Spinach and Cheese Samosa

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, feta cheese, spinach, garlic, salt and pepper. Mix until full incorporated. A couple of things to note: make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature so that it is easier to mix it. Also, all excess water should be squeezed out from the spinach.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 400 F / 200 C and prepare a baking sheet by lightly greasing it with oil. Set aside.

Step 3

Place a samosa pastry strip vertically on a plate / tray, and start by adding about 1-2 teaspoons of the spinach cheese on the bottom corner.

Step 4

Fold the samosa pastry corner over the samosa filling. Then from the opposite side fold over the corner into the opposite direction. Continue until you have a triangle shaped parcel, and then using your finger to spread the flour / water paste seal over the rectangular flap of the samosa pastry over to completely seal the samosa. Do watch the video for a visual tutorial on how to fold the samosas.

Step 5

Continue until all samosas have been filled.

Step 6

Place prepared samosas on baking sheet and lightly brush each samosa with egg wash on both sides.

Step 7

Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the samosas are golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Serve immediately.
