Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Frozen puff pastry sheets
- 4 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thaw the frozen puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions. Once thawed, lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the pastry sheets to smooth the folds.
In a large skillet over medium heat, wilt the fresh spinach. Allow the spinach to cool slightly, then use paper towels to squeeze out excess moisture. Roughly chop the spinach.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, 1 egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
On the prepared work surface, cut each puff pastry sheet into 6 equal squares, creating 12 squares total.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the spinach and cheese filling in the center of each square. Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling to create a small bundle, pinching the edges to seal and prevent leakage during baking.
Transfer the filled puffs to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash lightly over the top and sides of each puff.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and flaky.
Allow the puffs to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature as a delicious appetizer or snack.
