Cheesy Onion, Leek and Spinach Hand Pies

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp Farm Boy™ Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 small Vidalia onions halved and thinly sliced (about 4 cups)
• 1 medium leek cleaned and thinly sliced (about 2 1/2 cups)
• 1 tsp Farm Boy™ Garlic Flowers
• 4 cups fresh baby spinach
• 1 cup Farm Boy™ Classic Blend Shredded Cheese
• 90 g Farm Boy™ Sharp Small Batch Cheddar Cheese grated (scant 1 cup)
• 1/4 tsp Farm Boy™ Organic Chili Peppers or to taste
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 pack Farm Boy™ Butter Puff Pastry (450 g) thawed overnight in fridge
• 1 egg beaten with 1 Tbsp water
• 2 Tbsp Farm Boy™ Everything Bagel Seasoning Blend for topping

Directions

1. In large 12” skillet, heat Farm Boy™ Extra Virgin Olive Oil and butter over medium heat.
2. Add onion and leeks and cook, stirring often, until golden and caramelized. This will take up to 30 minutes.
3. When onions and leeks are golden, add Farm Boy™ Garlic Flowers and spinach and stir until spinach softens, about 3 minutes.
4. Add Farm Boy™ Classic Blend Shredded Cheese, Farm Boy™ Small Batch Cheddar Cheese, Farm Boy™ Organic Chili Peppers, and salt and pepper to taste. Let mixture cool for 15 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, unfold sheets of Farm Boy™ Pure Butter Puff Pastry and place on lightly floured surface. Roll them out to a 10” x 12” rectangle. Cut each sheet evenly into 9 pieces. Brush edges of half of the squares with egg wash and divide filling among those, leaving a 1/2” border.
6. Top with remaining pastry squares, pressing edges to seal using the tines of a fork. Place pastries on parchment lined sheet pans and chill for 30 minutes.
7. Preheat oven to 415°F.
8. When ready to bake, brush tops of pastries with egg wash. Cut a thin slit into each pastry to allow steam to escape.
9. Sprinkle with Farm Boy™ Everything Bagel Seasoning Blend or poppy seeds and bake for 23-25 minutes, until golden brown. Cool for 10 minutes and serve.
