  • Line a baking dish with parchment paper and lay the puff pastry on top. Spoon the whipped feta to the middle of the dough and spread it around. You want to keep a ¼-1/2 inch boarder free from the whipped feta so that the pastry can seal properly. Add the second puff pastry directly on top and seal the edges. Poke holes in the top to create air vents. Brush the beaten egg on top and sprinkle with coarse or raw sugar (optional)
  • Transfer to oven and bake for 20 minutes. 
  • Let the pastry cool completely before cutting into squares. Sprinkle more raw sugar on top if desired. 

Notes

  • You can either use a whole Calabrian chili or crushed. If using crushed or a different type of chili paste, use 1 tsp.
