Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Thaw the frozen spinach and squeeze out as much excess water as possible. Transfer it to a mixing bowl.
To the spinach, add cream cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets. Cut each sheet into 12 squares for a total of 24 squares.
Place a teaspoon of the spinach-cheese mixture in the center of each puff pastry square.
Fold each square by bringing the opposite corners together to form a triangle. Pinch the edges to seal the filling inside.
Transfer the assembled triangles onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving a bit of space between each one.
Brush the tops of the puff pastry with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and flaky.
Remove from the oven and allow the appetizers to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
