Ingredients

• 2 sheets Frozen puff pastry sheets
• 4 cups Fresh spinach leaves
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Milk

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Thaw the frozen puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions. Once thawed, lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the pastry sheets to smooth the folds.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, wilt the fresh spinach. Allow the spinach to cool slightly, then use paper towels to squeeze out excess moisture. Roughly chop the spinach.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, 1 egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.

Step 5

On the prepared work surface, cut each puff pastry sheet into 6 equal squares, creating 12 squares total.

Step 6

Place about 1 tablespoon of the spinach and cheese filling in the center of each square. Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling to create a small bundle, pinching the edges to seal and prevent leakage during baking.

Step 7

Transfer the filled puffs to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash lightly over the top and sides of each puff.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and flaky.

Step 10

Allow the puffs to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature as a delicious appetizer or snack.
