Ingredients
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
-
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one sheet of puff pastry into a rectangle. Cut the pastry into squares, approximately 3×3 inches in size.
-
Place a spoonful of the spinach and cream cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square.
-
Fold the corners of each pastry square towards the center, pinching the edges to seal and form a puff.
-
Repeat the process with the remaining puff pastry sheet and spinach mixture.
-
Place the assembled spinach puffs on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each puff with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds or poppy seeds, if desired.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and puffed up.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
You can make these ahead by assembling the puffs and refrigerating them for up to a day or freezing them before baking.
If you don’t have puff pastry, you can substitute with phyllo dough for a slightly different texture.
