Get the Recipe: Spinach Puffs in 30 Minutes
These 30-minute spinach puffs are an easy appetizer to make at home. The flaky puff pastry is filled with spinach, feta and cream cheese.
Ingredients
- 2 puff pastry sheets (one 18 oz package), thawed, but still cool
- 1 package (10 oz) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed very dry
- ½ cup (4 oz) cream cheese, room temperature
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup grated parmesan
- 2 large eggs, divided (1 for filling, 1 for egg wash)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease two mini muffin tins.
- Unfold puff pastry and roll it out to remove any creases. Use a sharp knife to cut each sheet into 12 squares (four down and four across). Place in greased mini muffin cups. Use your fingers to gently press the pastry into the bottom and up the sides of each cup (let the corners point up or hang over the sides). Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine all the filling ingredients–spinach, cream cheese, feta, parmesan, 1 egg, garlic, pepper and salt.
- Spoon 1 Tablespoon of the mixture into each cup. Bring pastry corners together and pinch to seal.
- Add the egg wash. Whisk together 1 egg and 1 Tablespoon water. Use a pastry brush to brush egg wash over the top of the pastries.
- Bake at 400 F for 20 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Wait a few minutes before running a butter knife around the cups to remove the pastries from the pan. Serve warm.
