Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Frozen puff pastry sheet
- 2 cups Fresh spinach
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Shredded Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 large Egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Thaw the puff pastry sheet according to the package instructions (generally about 20-30 minutes at room temperature).
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium skillet, sauté the spinach over medium heat until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer it to a cutting board, let it cool slightly, then chop finely.
In a medium bowl, mix the chopped spinach, softened cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet to smooth any creases. Cut the sheet into 8 equal squares.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the spinach mixture in the center of each square.
Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle, then press the edges together to seal. For a decorative touch, crimp the edges with the tines of a fork.
Place the filled pastries on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and flaky.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
