Feta and Olive Hamentaschen might be my new holiday favorite. I always store a good pastry dough in my freezer. Whether it’s short pastry dough or puff pastry dough, they are always there when inspiration hits and no time for making a dough or simply ready for when guests come over. These feta and olive Hamentaschens are perfect for a purim themed breakfast or even a light dinner. I love pairing it with an Israeli salad.
What you need for feta and olive Hamentaschen filling:
To make the filling you will need:
- Food processor
- Feta cheese
- Olive oil
- Pitted green olives
- Sour Cream
To make the filling simply add all the ingredients to a food processor and mix on high until creamy. Some lumps may stay from the olives or feta and that’s okay!
Side notes: You are welcome to add ground pepper to tastes, but don’t add salt, the feta cheese and olives will have enough salt.
Storage: If you have any left over filling, you can store in the fridge for up to two weeks. I also love using it as a cheese spread on a toasted bagel or bread.
The rest of the ingredients needed:
Once the filling is ready, you will need to assemble your Feta and Olive Hamentaschen:
- Short puff pastry dough
- Toasted sesame seeds
- Eggs
- Circular cookie cutter
To begin assembling the Hamentaschens:
In a small bowl beat the eggs until well mixed, set aside.
Roll out the pastry dough. Cut circles using a circular cookie cutter or a cup. Brush each circle with the egg wash.
Add your filling in the middle, about 2 teaspoons. Pinch three corners and set a side.
Next, brush each of the three triangle sides with egg wash.
Over a bowl of toasted sesame seeds either dip or sprinkle the sesame seeds onto the egg washed sides.
Once the Feta and olive Hamentaschen are all ready lay them on a baking pan with parchment paper and back on 350 F for 35 minutes or until golden brown.
Pair these Hamentaschens with a fresh Israeli salads, eggs and even fried eggplants bites for a delicious breakfast.
