Spinach & Feta Hand Pies
I love spinach & feta together. They're a match made in heaven. These hand pies are so delicious - perfect for the whole family!

2 frozen puff pastry sheets (from a 17-ounce package)
3 eggs, slightly beaten
1 tablespoon water
3⁄4-1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 (10 ounce) packagechopped spinach, thawed and well drained (squeeze out any excess
moisture with hands)
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley

DIRECTIONS
Thaw the puff pastry at room temperature for 40 minutes.
Set oven to 400 degrees F.
Lightly grease a baking sheet.
In a small cup or bowl whisk together 1 egg with water; set aside.
In another bowl mix together 2 eggs, feta cheese, spinach, onion, parsley and black pepper.
Unfold the pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface.
Roll each sheet into a 12-inch square.
Cut each into 4 large circles.
Place about 6 tablespoons spinach/cheese mixture in the middle of each square.
