Filling:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 5 oz fresh spinach (or 1/2 package frozen, thawed and drained)
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup ricotta or cream cheese

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cook the Spinach: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add spinach and cook until wilted (or warmed through if using frozen), then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
