Now, before we get our hands dirty, here’s what you’ll need to bring these puffs to life!

Ingredients:

  • 1 package of frozen puff pastry (thawed)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach (chopped)
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg (beaten)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil (for brushing)

Now that you’ve got your ingredients ready, let’s jump into the instructions — it’s time to make these puffs pop!

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for a minute until fragrant.
  3. Throw in the chopped spinach and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the spinach is wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta, feta, Parmesan, beaten egg, and the cooked spinach. Mix everything well until you have a creamy filling.
  5. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface and cut it into squares, roughly 4×4 inches.
  6. Place a generous spoonful of the spinach filling in the center of each square.
  7. Fold the corners of the puff pastry over the filling, pinching to seal them tightly.
  8. Place the puffs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with a bit of olive oil to give them a golden look.
  9. Bake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they’re puffed and golden brown.
  10. Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these flaky, flavorful little bites!

And there you have it! A simple journey to make some scrumptious spinach puffs that’ll have everyone coming back for seconds. Gather your friends and family, because these puffs are meant to be shared. Happy cooking!
