Defrost the spinach and squeeze out any excess water. Defrost the puff pastry according to the package instructions and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into two rectangles measuring approximately 40 x 20 cm. Crumble the feta and mix with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the oregano. Finely chop the onion and garlic and sauté for one minute in a pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil over high heat. Add the spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Mix the spinach, feta, and 2 eggs and season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Spread the spinach mixture on half of each pastry sheet, leaving a 2 cm border free. Brush the edges with beaten egg, fold the pastry over the filling, and press the edges together firmly with a fork. Prick the pockets and brush with egg yolk. Bake on a baking sheet lined with baking paper at 180°C (fan, preheated) for about 20 minutes. Cut the pockets diagonally in half and serve.
