Instructions
- Rinse the spinach, then put it in a large bowl. Pour over some boiling water and rest for a couple of minutes. When it has wilted, drain and rinse with cold water. Let it cool, then squeeze out the excess liquid, first through the sieve, then with your hands.

- Preheat the oven to 190C. Lightly grease a standard muffin tin.

- Place each circle of the pastry in the cavities of the muffin tin. Gently press the down the pastry and around the sides. Fill them with the feta and spinach mixture, then fold the excess pastry towards the centre, pinching the overlapping pastry bits.
- Brush the folder pastry with the egg-wash.
