  • Author: Chef Barbara
  • Total Time: 33 minute

Ingredients

– 1 package (17.3 ounces) frozen puff pastry, thawed
– 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
– 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
– 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 garlic clove, minced
– 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 egg (for egg wash)
– Sesame seeds (for topping, optional)


Instructions

Making Flaky Spinach Puffs with Cream Cheese Filling is a straightforward process if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, softened cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
3. Roll out the pastry: On a floured surface, roll out one sheet of thawed puff pastry into a large rectangle, about 1/8 inch thick.
4. Cut the pastry: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into squares that are about 3 inches by 3 inches.
5. Add the filling: Place a tablespoon of the spinach and cream cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square.
6. Seal the puffs: Fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle. Press the edges together firmly to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for extra reinforcement.
7. Prepare the egg wash: In a small bowl, whisk the egg until smooth. Brush the egg wash over the tops of each pastry to give them a golden color while baking.
8. Sprinkle sesame seeds: If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on top of each puff for added texture and flavor.
9. Bake: Place the puffs on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown and puffed up.
10. Cool: Once done, remove from the oven and let cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
