Method
How to Make Spinach Puffs with Cream Cheese
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- Combine all the filling ingredients in a large bowl: drained spinach, softened cream cheese, feta, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is beautifully blended.
- Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface until they reach about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut the pastry into squares measuring roughly 3x3 inches.
- Spoon a tablespoon of the spinach filling into the center of each pastry square.
- Fold the pastry over creating a triangle or rectangle. Press the edges firmly to seal, then use a fork to crimp the edges.
- Brush the tops of the prepared puffs with the beaten egg.
- Bake in your preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, until they are puffed and golden brown.
- Cool the spinach puffs for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy them warm!

Notes
Serve with a side of tangy yogurt dip for extra flavor. Ensure spinach is thoroughly drained to prevent soggy filling. Roll pastry evenly for the best texture.
