Ingredients

Scale

Pastry

  • 1 Package Butter Puff Pastry

Filling

  • 5 oz Chopped Spinach (measured before cooking)
  • 125 g Cream Cheese
  • 1/2 Cup Feta Cheese (shredded or crumbled)
  • 35 Garlic Cloves (minced)
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Pepper

Finishing

  • 1 Tbsp Melted Butter (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, mix together the chopped spinach, cream cheese, feta cheese, minced garlic, onion powder, garlic powder, and ground pepper until well combined. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
  3. Cut the Puff Pastry: On a clean work surface, unfold the butter puff pastry and cut it into squares large enough to be folded into triangles.
  4. Assemble the Puffs: Spoon the creamy spinach mixture onto one half of each puff pastry square, then fold over to form a triangle shape. Press the edges firmly to seal the filling inside.
  5. Prepare for Baking: Place the filled puffs on the lined baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart to allow for expansion. Brush the tops of each puff generously with melted butter for a golden finish.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry turns golden brown and puffed up.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then serve warm and enjoy your flavorful spinach puffs!

Notes

  • You can use fresh or frozen spinach; if frozen, thaw and drain excess liquid before mixing.
  • Adjust the garlic amount to your preference for a milder or stronger flavor.
  • For a crispier crust, ensure the puff pastry is cold when assembling.
  • Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds or nigella seeds on top before baking for added texture and taste.
  • These puffs can be reheated in the oven to restore crispiness.
