Step-by-Step Instructions
1. PREHEAT AND PREP
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
2. PREPARE THE FILLING
- In a mixing bowl, combine the spinach, mozzarella, Parmesan, cream cheese (if using), minced garlic, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Mix until well combined.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
3. ROLL OUT THE PUFF PASTRY
- Unroll the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.
- Cut the pastry into equal squares (about 2–3 inches per square). You should get 12–16 squares depending on the size.
4. ASSEMBLE THE SQUARES
- Place about 1–2 teaspoons of the spinach-cheese mixture onto one half of each square, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Fold the other half of the square over the filling to form a triangle or rectangle. Press the edges firmly to seal.
- Use a fork to crimp the edges, ensuring the filling stays inside during baking.
5. ADD FINISHING TOUCHES
- Brush the tops of the squares lightly with the beaten egg for a shiny, golden finish.
- Sprinkle with optional toppings like sesame seeds, everything bagel seasoning, or grated Parmesan.
6. BAKE
- Arrange the assembled squares on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
7. SERVE AND ENJOY
- Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
- Serve warm as an appetizer, snack, or light meal. Pair with marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or aioli for dipping.
