Ingredients

• 2 pieces Puff pastry sheets
• 3 cups (packed) Fresh spinach
• 0.5 cups (grated) Parmesan cheese
• 4 oz (softened) Cream cheese
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 1 large (beaten) Egg
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tbsp Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 4

Once cooled, chop the spinach finely and place it in a medium mixing bowl.

Step 5

Add cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the spinach. Mix until well combined to create the filling.

Step 6

Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut each sheet into 12 equal squares, totaling 24 squares.

Step 7

Place about 1 teaspoon of the spinach mixture in the center of each puff pastry square.

Step 8

Brush the edges of each square with the beaten egg, then fold the corners toward the center to form a sealed pouch. Pinch to secure.

Step 9

Place each filled puff on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Step 10

Brush the tops of the puffs with the remaining beaten egg to ensure a golden finish.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and crispy.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
