Ingredients

• 15 pieces Frozen phyllo pastry shells
• 2 cups Fresh spinach
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
• 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 large Egg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and arrange the phyllo pastry shells on a baking sheet.

Step 2

Rinse and chop the fresh spinach. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 3

Mince the garlic and sauté it in the olive oil until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, salt, black pepper, and egg. Mix until smooth.

Step 6

Fold the cooled spinach and garlic mixture into the cream cheese mixture until evenly combined.

Step 7

Using a spoon, fill each phyllo pastry shell with the spinach mixture, ensuring they are evenly filled but not overstuffed.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the filling is set and the pastry shells are lightly golden.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the mini Florentine cups cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
