Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
- In a bowl, mix together chopped spinach, ricotta, feta, mozzarella, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, and egg yolk.

Step 2: Assemble the Pastry Pockets
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Sprinkle with sesame seeds or grated parmesan (if using).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until puffed up and golden brown.
