Servings: 18 puffs
Equipment
- mixing bowls
- rubber spatula
- cutting board
- kitchen knife
- baking sheet pan
- silicone baking mat
- pastry brush
Ingredients
- 1 (8 oz) block softened cream cheese
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 eggs divided
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 (10 oz) bag frozen spinach thawed and drained
- 1 (2 ct) box store-bought frozen puff pastry sheets thawed
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and line two baking trays with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, 1 egg, and salt and pepper.
- Add your frozen spinach into a bowl of hot water and let sit for 2 minutes. Drain off the water, then squeeze the spinach really well to remove any excess liquid.
- Add the spinach into the cheese mixture and mix to combine, then set aside for later.
- Working with 1 sheet at a time, unroll the sheets of thawed puff pastry and cut each sheet into 9 equal squares.
- Turn each pastry square so it looks like a diamond, then spoon the filling in the middle of the pastry from top to bottom, making sure to leave about half an inch of pastry on each side.
- Place on your prepared baking sheets, then lightly brush whisked egg on the right corner of the pastry.
- Fold the left pastry corner over the filling, then fold the egg-washed corner over the first folded piece of dough and press gently to seal.
- Brush each pastry lightly with the remaining whisked egg and sprinkle with more grated parmesan cheese. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown!
