Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry sheets (thawed)
- 300 grams ground sausage (pork or chicken)
- 120 grams fresh spinach (washed and chopped)
- 120 grams cream cheese
- 100 grams shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 large egg (beaten)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and cook the ground sausage until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula. This should take about 5–7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the sausage and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage and spinach mixture with cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, salt, and black pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets. Cut each sheet into 6 equal squares (12 squares total).
Place about 1–2 tablespoons of the sausage and spinach filling in the center of each square.
Brush the edges of each pastry square with the beaten egg. Fold each square diagonally into a triangle, enclosing the filling. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal.
Arrange the filled pastry puffs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
Brush the tops of the pastries with the beaten egg to create a golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the pastry puffs cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
