At the heart of Mediterranean cuisine, briouats with spinach and tuna are steps away from tantalizing our taste buds. Originating from the Middle East, these delicious pastries are far from ordinary, thanks to their subtle marriage between the refined taste of the flaky pastry, the elegance of fresh spinach, and the richness of succulent tuna. Parmesan and breadcrumbs add a touch of creamy and crunchy that make them the unmissable guests at your appetizer meals.

🥘 Ingredients

• 250g of puff pastry
• 150g of grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 can of tuna
• 250g of spinach
• 3 tablespoons of breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons of oil
• 1 egg yolk

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Begin by draining the spinach and pressing it with a strainer to remove all the water.
2. In a pan, sauté the spinach in oil for about 5 minutes until cooked well.
3. Place the drained tuna, breadcrumbs, and grated Parmesan cheese in a large plate and mix them together with the spinach and oil.
4. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface and cut it into several rectangles (10cm x 30cm) using a pastry cutter.
5. Take each rectangle, place 2 tablespoons of the mixture made in step 2, fold it to form a triangle, and seal the briouat with the egg yolk.
6. Repeat the process until the mixture and pastry are used up and brush each briouat with egg yolk for a golden finish when cooked.
7. Place the briouats on an oiled baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for approximately 25 minutes, or until they are uniformly golden brown.
8. Serve the briouats hot and enjoy their exquisite taste.
