Ingredients

  • 4 large ready-made croissants
  • 250g fresh ricotta cheese
  • 150g fresh baby spinach
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 50g parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted

Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

3

Add baby spinach to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted, then remove from heat and let cool slightly before squeezing out excess moisture.

4

In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, grated parmesan, egg yolk, chopped chives, dill, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper.

5

Roughly chop the cooled spinach and fold it into the ricotta mixture until evenly distributed.

6

Carefully slice each croissant horizontally without cutting all the way through, creating a pocket.

7

Divide the ricotta spinach filling evenly among the croissants, gently pressing them closed.

8

Place filled croissants on the prepared baking sheet and brush tops with melted butter.

9

Bake for 18-22 minutes until the croissants are golden brown and the filling is heated through.

10

Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes before serving warm, garnished with extra fresh chives.
