Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Spinach (fresh or frozen, thawed and drained)
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 Puff pastry sheets (thawed)
- 1 Egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
If using frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze out excess water. If using fresh spinach, sauté it in a skillet over medium heat until wilted, then drain and chop.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the spinach, ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, 1 egg, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Unroll the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares, for a total of 8 squares.
Place about 2 tablespoons of the spinach-cheese mixture in the center of each square.
Fold the corners of each puff pastry square up to the center and pinch them together to seal, forming a bundle. Ensure the edges are tightly sealed to prevent filling from leaking.
In a small bowl, whisk 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over each bundle.
Place the bundles on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the bundles are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
