Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Frozen puff pastry sheets
- 4 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Egg wash (egg + water mixture)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions and keep them chilled until ready to use.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
Once cooled, chop the sautéed spinach and mix it into the cheese mixture.
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a floured surface and cut each sheet into 4 equal squares.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the spinach-cheese filling into the center of each square.
Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle and pinch the edges tightly to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for extra security and decoration.
Brush the tops of the puffs with egg wash for a golden finish.
Place the puffs on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between them.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and flaky.
Allow the spinach puffs to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
