Savory Pastries with Swiss Chard

Method

1. Cook the Swiss chard (or spinach / mixed greens) in a pan with a little oil until wilted.
2. Finely chop the cooked greens with a knife and transfer to a bowl.
3. Add ricotta, grated Parmesan, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix well.
4. Transfer the filling to a piping bag (or a freezer bag with the tip cut off).
5. Cut the puff pastry into three strips. Pipe a line of filling along each strip.
6. Fold the edges over the filling and press to seal. You may want to watch the video for the folding technique.
7. Cut the filled pastry strips into small squares.
8. Arrange the squares on a baking tray and brush the tops with beaten egg yolk.
9. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 10–15 minutes until golden.
10. Serve warm as an appetizer.
