Spinach and feta pastry

INGREDIENTS
Olive oil for frying
1 red capsicum, diced
1 green capsicum, diced
3 mushrooms, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
Large bag of baby spinach leaves
200g feta cheese, crumbled
2 sheets of frozen puff pastry, defrosted
2 eggs, beaten 
Mozzarella cheese

METHOD
Pre-heat the oven to 200C

In a large frying pan add some oil and fry the capsicum and mushrooms until they start to soften, then add the garlic and fry for one more minute.

Add the spinach on top, cover with a lid, turn off the heat and let the spinach wilt.

In a large bowl combine the mixture from the frying pan with the feta cheese and set aside.

Line two baking trays with baking paper. Place one sheet of pastry on each, then carefully fold the edges inwards about 1 cm.

Place half the mixture from the bowl on each pastry sheet and spread evenly up to the raised edges.

With a brush coat the edges with the egg wash.  Pour the the remaining egg over the mixter - half for each pastry.  Add salt to taste (if your feta is salty you won't need to). Then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and bake in the oven for 20 mins.

VARIATI9NS
You can replace the capsicum, mushrooms and garlic with any vegetables of your choice that can be stir fried.

I've also tried adding some smoked salmon on top and sprinkling with parmesan in place of mozzarella.
