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!
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.
