Ingredients:
1 sheet puff pastry
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
8 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 egg, beaten
1 egg yolk
Pinch of salt
Pinch of black pepper
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Prepare the Spinach:
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic for about 2 minutes until soft and fragrant.
Add baby spinach to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool.
Prepare the Puff Pastry:
Cut the puff pastry sheet into 6 or 12 squares, depending on your desired size. Place squares on the prepared baking tray.
Make the Filling:
In a mixing bowl, combine cooled spinach, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, and beaten egg. Season with salt and pepper, then mix until well combined.
Assemble the Pastry Squares:
Divide spinach mixture evenly among puff pastry squares, placing a spoonful in the center of each square.
Fold two opposite edges of each square towards the center, pressing tightly to seal.
Prepare for Baking:
Brush the tops of the pastry squares with beaten egg yolk for a glossy finish.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 35 minutes, until puffs are golden brown and pastry is cooked through.
Serve:
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
