  • 2 tablespoons oil 
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds 
  • ½ large onion, finely chopped 
  • Salt to taste 
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced 
  • 4 oz. cream cheese, softened 
  • 1 (10-oz.) package frozen spinach, microwave to get the water out  
  • 3/4 cup crumbled feta 
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest 
  • 1 teaspoon 5 spice 
  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder 
  • All-purpose flour, for rolling puff pastry  
  • 2 sheet from 1 (17.3-oz) package puff pastry, thawed in the refrigerator 
  • 4 tablespoons aquafaba  

Directions

  • In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds, let it splutter and add onions, garlic and season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until brown, 4 to 5 minutes.  Remove from heat. 
  • Stir together cream cheese, garlic-onion mixture, spinach, feta, lemon zest and seasons. 
  • Grease 9 cups of a muffin tin with cooking spray. On a lightly floured surface, roll out puff pastry sheet to a 12” square. Cut into 9 smaller squares, each about 4” wide. Ease each puff pastry square into a greased muffin cup, letting the corners hang over the sides. Add about 2½ tablespoons of filling to the center of each. Fold in pastry corners to meet in the center over the filling and pinch together. Refrigerate for 30 minutes (or freeze for 15 minutes).  Or you can make 1 long log.   
  • Meanwhile, adjust an oven rack to center position and preheat the oven to 400°. 
  • Brush aquafaba on top of the chilled pastry.  
  • Bake until puffed and golden brown on the bottom, about 25 minutes. Let cool slightly before lifting out of the muffin tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.
