These spinach puffs are the perfect appetizer for any party. If you love spinach dips then you're going to love these baked puffs. They're filled with a mix of sautéed onions, garlic, spinach, and cream cheese and are baked in muffin tins. The best thing about these spinach puffs is that they are so easy to make.
INGREDIENTS:
- Frozen Puff pastry sheet: thaw in the refrigerator.
- Oil: vegetable oil or olive oil, basically you can use any type of oil for this recipe.
- Onions: chopped in small size.
- Garlic: fresh is always better but you can use garlic powder as well.
- Cream cheese: softened
- Egg:
- Spinach: I used frozen spinach which was thawed and squeezed to remove any excess water . You can use 2 cups of fresh spinach as well, but you have to sweet the spinach in the pan before adding it to the mixture.
- Feta cheese crumble:
- Lemon zest:
- Spices like black pepper, paprika and salt.
HOW TO MAKE SPINACH CHEESE PUFFS:
- In a medium skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add crushed garlic and cook for about 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
- In a large bowl, stir together cream cheese and 1 egg. Stir in garlic-onion mixture, spinach, feta, lemon zest, black pepper and paprika.
- Grease 9 cups of a muffin tin with cooking spray. Cut the pastry sheet into 9 squares. press each square into the bottom of the muffin cups. Add spinach filling evenly onto the pastry cups. Fold in pastry corners to meet in the center over the filling and pinch together. Refrigerate for 30 minutes (or freeze for 15 minutes).
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Beat an egg in a small bowl with 1 teaspoon water and brush on top of the chilled pastry.
- Bake for 25 minute or until puffed and golden.
