Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 pieces Frozen phyllo pastry shells
- 2 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and arrange the phyllo pastry shells on a baking sheet.
Rinse and chop the fresh spinach. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Mince the garlic and sauté it in the olive oil until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, salt, black pepper, and egg. Mix until smooth.
Fold the cooled spinach and garlic mixture into the cream cheese mixture until evenly combined.
Using a spoon, fill each phyllo pastry shell with the spinach mixture, ensuring they are evenly filled but not overstuffed.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the filling is set and the pastry shells are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the mini Florentine cups cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
