Cream Cheese Spinach Puffs 

  Step 1: Prepare the filling

  In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, cooked spinach, minced garlic, mozzarella, Parmesan, beaten egg, oregano, onion powder, salt and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.

  Step 2: Preheat oven

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  Step 3: Prepare the puff pastry

  On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets slightly.

  Cut each sheet into 9 equal squares (3x3 grid).

  Step 4: Assemble the puffs

  Place about 1 tablespoon of the spinach mixture in the center of each puff pastry square.

  Fold the corners of the pastry towards the center and pinch them together to seal, creating a pouch. (You can also leave them slightly open for a more rustic look.)

  Place the assembled puffs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.

  Step 5: Brush with egg wash

  Lightly brush the top of each puff with egg wash for a golden finish.

  Step 6: Bake

  Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until puffs are golden brown and puffed up.

  Step 7: Serve

  Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve hot puffs with tomato or garlic sauce or serve hot or at room temperature.
