    List of Ingredients




    Pastry Dough:
    1/2 pound soft cream cheese
    1 cup soft butter
    2 cups sifted flour

    Recipe



    With a fork, combine cream cheese and butter. Cut in the flour. Work with hands until dough forms a ball. Place in waxed paper and chill overnight. Roll out dough 1/3" thick with floured rolling pin on a generously floured surface. Cut in rounds with 1-1/2 to 2" cutter.


    Filling:

    1 onion, finely chopped
    3 tablespoons olive oil
    1 package frozen chopped spinach,
       thawed and well drained
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/4 pound feta cheese, crumbled
    4 ounces ricotta cheese
    1 egg, beaten

    Saute onion in olive oil until softened. Add spinach and salt. Cook over low heat until tender. Mix cheese together and stir in egg. Add spinach-onion mixture and mix well. Place a little spinach filling on each round and fold over. Moisten edge so it will hold together. Flute edge with a fork and prick center. Place pastries on cookie sheet and bake in a 425 degree oven for 15 minutes. Serve warm.
