- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon milk (optional, for egg wash)

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine the cooked spinach, crumbled feta, salt, black pepper, and oregano. Mix well.
- Cut the Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry and cut it into 4 equal squares.
- Fill and Fold: Place a spoonful of the spinach-feta mixture onto each square. Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle. Press the edges together and seal with a fork.
- Egg Wash & Topping: In a small bowl, whisk the beaten egg with a tablespoon of milk (if using). Brush the turnovers with the egg wash and sprinkle sesame or nigella seeds on top.
- Bake: Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18–22 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.
- Cool & Serve: Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
