Ingredients

• 2 sheets Frozen puff pastry sheets
• 4 cups Fresh spinach
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Egg wash (egg + water mixture)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions and keep them chilled until ready to use.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Add fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.

Step 6

Once cooled, chop the sautéed spinach and mix it into the cheese mixture.

Step 7

Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a floured surface and cut each sheet into 4 equal squares.

Step 8

Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the spinach-cheese filling into the center of each square.

Step 9

Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle and pinch the edges tightly to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for extra security and decoration.

Step 10

Brush the tops of the puffs with egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 11

Place the puffs on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between them.

Step 12

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and flaky.

Step 13

Allow the spinach puffs to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
