These easy spinach puffs are flaky, cheesy, and packed with flavor. Made with puff pastry, spinach, and a mix of cheeses, they make the perfect appetizer or party snack.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 200g (7 oz) frozen spinach (thawed and drained)
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent.
- Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the thawed and drained spinach and cook for 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the spinach mixture with ricotta, feta, parmesan, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Cut the puff pastry sheet into 6 equal squares.
- Place a spoonful of the spinach mixture into the center of each square.
- Fold each square into a triangle or rectangle and seal the edges by pressing down with a fork.
- Brush the tops with beaten egg.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden and puffed.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the spinach is fully drained to avoid soggy puffs.
- You can freeze the puffs before baking and cook from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
- Customize the filling with other cheeses or add herbs like dill or parsley.
