Ingredients

• 2 sheets Frozen puff pastry sheets
• 3 cups Fresh spinach
• 4 oz Cream cheese
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 Egg
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp All-purpose flour (for rolling)

Directions

Step 1

Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions until pliable but still cold.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 3

Wash the spinach thoroughly, then cook it in a skillet over medium heat until wilted. Remove from heat, let it cool, and squeeze out the excess water. Roughly chop the spinach.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out one of the puff pastry sheets to about 1/8-inch thickness. Repeat with the second sheet if needed.

Step 6

Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the puff pastry into squares of approximately 4x4 inches.

Step 7

Place a tablespoon of the spinach-cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square.

Step 8

Fold each square into a triangle by bringing opposing corners together. Seal the edges by pressing them with a fork to prevent filling from leaking out.

Step 9

In a small bowl, whisk the egg with a splash of water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the pastry triangles with the egg wash to give them a golden shine when baked.

Step 10

Transfer the prepared pastries to the lined baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
