Every day I see such succulent recipes for cake pops or savory alternatives that I wanted to try some myself. These pops look amazing styled as a “bouquet” and are perfect as an aperitif. And although I have not tried it myself, I am sure these pops can be prepared well in advance and frozen, if you add the sticks after thawing.

And this is how it works: gently fry the onion in some butter until it turns soft. Add the thawed or fresh spinach and let it cook on low heat until most of the liquid has evaporated and the mix becomes dry. This is helpful, as the puff pastry will not soak up the liquid. Turn the heat off, and add the chopped feta cheese. Add salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste and let the mix cool for a little while.

I use this filling quite often: in a strudel or a savory quiche. Sometimes even in pancakes or just baked in the oven.

But I digress..I am so easily distracted when it comes to food – squirrel 🙂 Cut out the shape you want form the puff pastry in sets of 2. I used a big round glass. Add 1 Tbsp of filling onto half of the circles and baste the sides with eggyolk. Put the other circles on top and gently squeeze the sides together using a fork. Baste the circles with eggyolk and gently insert the sticks. I used barbecue sticks in sets of 2 as I didn’t want to buy some specially. Bake in the oven at 180°C until golden brown. Et voilà 🙂
