Feta Cheese Fold overs are delicious, flaky puff pastry pockets filled with a savory mixture of crumbled feta cheese, finely chopped green onions, and egg. The filling is creamy and tangy, with a hint of freshness from the green onions. The puff pastry is cut into squares, filled with a spoonful of the feta mixture, and then folded over to form triangles. The edges are sealed tightly, often with a fork, and brushed with an egg wash to achieve a golden, crispy finish when baked.
