Spinach Puffs | Easy Spinach Puff Recipe
Servings: 12 puffs
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry store bought
- 4 cups Spinach
- 1 Onion diced
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 Egg for egg wash
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Ground Black Pepper
Instructions
- Sauté the Onion & Garlic. In a skillet over medium heat, warm a drizzle of oil or butter. Sauté diced onion until translucent, then add minced garlic for about 1 minute.
- Cook the Spinach. Add fresh spinach leaves (or thawed, drained frozen spinach). Sauté until wilted (if fresh) or heated through (if frozen). Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Mix in Cheese. Remove from heat and stir in crumbled feta or shredded cheese (like cheddar) until combined. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
- Thaw the Pastry. If using store-bought puff pastry, ensure it’s fully thawed according to package instructions.
- Cut into Squares. Lightly dust a work surface with flour. Roll out the puff pastry and cut into squares (about 3–4 inches each).
- Fill & Fold. Place a spoonful of the spinach filling onto each square. Fold the pastry over (into a triangle or rectangle), pressing edges to seal. Crimp with a fork for a decorative touch.
- Preheat Oven. Set your oven to 400°F.
- Brush with Egg Wash. Beat one egg in a small bowl. Brush the pastry tops lightly for a golden finish.
- Bake. Arrange the puffs on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
