Ingredients:
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Prepare the Spinach Mixture:
In a mixing bowl, combine the drained spinach, softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Prepare the Puff Pastry:
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface.
Cut each sheet into squares or rectangles, depending on the size of puffs you desire.
Fill the Puffs:
Place a spoonful of the spinach and cream cheese mixture onto the center of each pastry square.
Fold and Seal:
Fold the pastry over the filling to create a triangle or rectangle shape.
Use a fork to crimp the edges, sealing the filling inside.
Brush with Egg Wash:
Lightly brush the tops of each puff with beaten egg. This will give them a nice golden color when baked.
Bake:
Place the prepared spinach puffs onto the lined/greased baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the puffs are puffed up and golden brown.
Serve:
Remove from the oven and let the spinach puffs cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
These cream cheese spinach puffs are sure to be a hit at any party or gathering. You can also customize the recipe by adding ingredients like diced onions, mushrooms, or different types of cheese to suit your taste preferences. Enjoy!
