Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 frozen puff pastry sheets
- 10 oz frozen chopped spinach
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp water
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 pinch of nutmeg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to package instructions. Cut each sheet into 16 squares to create 32 pieces total. Place the squares onto the prepared baking sheet.
Thaw the chopped spinach and squeeze out as much excess water as possible using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the spinach, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash.
Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the spinach mixture onto the center of each puff pastry square. Gently fold the corners of the pastry over the filling to form a pouch or leave them open for a rustic look.
Brush the tops and edges of the puff pastry with the egg wash for a beautiful golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Florentine Appetizer Puffs!
