Instructions

1. 1

   1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

4. 4

   4. Unroll one sheet of thawed puff pastry onto the prepared baking sheet and spread the spinach-cheese filling evenly across the pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.

5. 5

   5. Lay the second sheet of puff pastry over the filling, gently pressing the edges together to seal, and crimp the borders with a fork.

6. 6

   6. Lightly brush the top pastry sheet with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle the sesame seeds evenly over the surface.

7. 7

   7. Cut a few small slits in the top pastry to allow steam to escape during baking.

8. 8

   8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown, then let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
