Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Puff pastry sheets
- 3 cups (packed) Fresh spinach
- 0.5 cups (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 4 oz (softened) Cream cheese
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 large (beaten) Egg
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Once cooled, chop the spinach finely and place it in a medium mixing bowl.
Add cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the spinach. Mix until well combined to create the filling.
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut each sheet into 12 equal squares, totaling 24 squares.
Place about 1 teaspoon of the spinach mixture in the center of each puff pastry square.
Brush the edges of each square with the beaten egg, then fold the corners toward the center to form a sealed pouch. Pinch to secure.
Place each filled puff on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Brush the tops of the puffs with the remaining beaten egg to ensure a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
