directions

  • Preheat the oven to 375*F.
  • Saute onions in butter over medium low heat for 5 to 7 minutes until tender.
  • Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute longer.
  • Meanwhile, squeeze most of the water out of the spinach and place it in a bowl.
  • Add the onion mixture, scallions, Gruyere, Parmesan, eggs, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, nutmeg and pinenuts.
  • Mix well.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Unfold one sheet of puff pastry and place it on the paper.
  • Spread the spinach mixture in the middle of the pastry, leaving a 1 inch border.
  • Brush the border with the egg wash.
  • Roll out the second piece of puff pastry on a floured board until it's an inch larger in each direction.
  • Place the second sheet of pastry over the spinach and seal the edges, crimping them with a fork.
  • Brush the top with egg wash, but don't let it drip down the sides or the pastry won't rise.
  • Make three smallslits in the pastry, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the pastry is lightly browned.
  • Transfer to a cutting board and serve hot!
