- 237 ml ricotta cheese
- 1.23 ml red pepper flakes
- Kosher salt
- 2 refrigerated rolled pie crusts
Prepare
- 2 large eggs, divided
- 237 ml baby spinach, roughly chopped
- Chop 237 ml fresh basil

Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a small bowl, whisk 1 egg with 1 tablespoon water until combined; set aside for brushing.
-
Step 2.
In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, chopped spinach, chopped basil, sundried tomatoes, red pepper flakes, the remaining egg, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
-
Step 3.
Unroll the refrigerated pie crusts on a work surface. Cut each crust into 4 wedges (8 total). Divide the ricotta mixture among the wedges, placing about 3 tablespoons on one side of each wedge, leaving a ½-inch border from the edges.
-
Step 4.
Fold the empty half of each wedge over the filling to form a pocket. Press the edges with a fork to seal tightly.
-
Step 5.
Brush the tops of the pockets with the reserved egg mixture and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
-
Step 6.
Working in batches (2 at a time), air fry the pockets at 380°F until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve warm.
