Ingredients
- 250 grams Frozen spinach
- 120 grams Cream cheese
- 100 grams Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 50 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 clove Garlic clove, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dusting)
- 1 egg Egg, beaten
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
Thaw the frozen spinach and squeeze out as much excess water as possible. Transfer it to a mixing bowl.
Step 3
To the spinach, add cream cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
Step 4
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets. Cut each sheet into 12 squares for a total of 24 squares.
Step 5
Place a teaspoon of the spinach-cheese mixture in the center of each puff pastry square.
Step 6
Fold each square by bringing the opposite corners together to form a triangle. Pinch the edges to seal the filling inside.
Step 7
Transfer the assembled triangles onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving a bit of space between each one.
Step 8
Brush the tops of the puff pastry with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and flaky.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and allow the appetizers to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
