SPINACH PUFFS
SPINACH PUFFS are fantastic finger food appetizers. Puff pastry stuffed with spinach and cheese then baked to golden brown.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 5 oz spinach, freshly chopped
- 8 oz shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 8 oz cream cheese - softened
- 2 tbsp scallions, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, finely shredded
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese and spinach together. Add the cheese, garlic powder, salt, pepper, 1 egg, and 1 tablespoon of chopped scallions. (The other half of the scallions will be used as a topping.)
- Beat the other egg together with 1 teaspoon of water in a small bowl and set aside.
- Unfold the pastry dough on a lightly greased surface. Make 3 cuts lengthwise and 4 cuts across, creating 12 small pastry squares.
- Place each pastry square in the muffin tin, pressing down into each cavity slightly. Allow the corners of the square to rest on the edge of the tin.
- Fill each pastry square with 1 tbsp of spinach mixture. Pinch the tops of the pastry corners together.
- Brush the tops of the spinach bites with the egg wash and top with the remaining chives and parmesan cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops of the pastries are golden.
- Once baked, loosen the edge of the spinach bites with a knife before removing them from the muffin tin. Serve warm and enjoy!
