Serves: 10 Prep Time: 10 Minutes Cook Time: 12 Minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 Tablespoon Oil
• ½ Onion, diced
• ¼ teaspoons Kosher Salt
• Pinch Black Pepper
• 10 5-½” Puff Pastry Squares
• 1 Cups Baby Spinach Leaves
• 3 Ounces Lox (Smoked Salmon), chopped
• ⅓ Cups Goat Cheese Crumbles
• 2 Tablespoons Water
• 1 Egg, beaten
• 1 teaspoon Everything Spice

Instructions:  

1. Saute onion with Oil, Kosher Salt and Black Pepper until the onion is translucent.
2. Add Baby Spinach, saute 2 additional minutes.  Remove from heat.
3. Take each pastry square and lay it out in front of you.  The dough needs to be pliable but not defrosted. 
4. Place in the center of each, 1 teaspoon of spinach mixture, 1 piece of Lox and 1 teaspoon of Goat Cheese.  Total filling volume should be between 1 and 1-½ TBS, so you can adjust accordingly.
5. With your finger, lightly wet the outside edges of the puff pastry square, then immediately fold it into a triangle, pressing the edges together to seal.  
6. Lay all of the sealed bourekas on a parchment-lined sheet pan.  Gently brush the beaten egg over them. Then sprinkle on the Everything Spice.  
7. Bake on the top rack at 350 for 10-12 minutes, until the dough is puffed up, cooked through and golden on the top.
8. Enjoy!  These can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
