Ingredients

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry thawed
  • 5 oz spinach freshly chopped
  • 8 oz shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • 8 oz cream cheese - softened
  • 2 tbsp scallions finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese finely shredded
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp water

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese and spinach together. Add the cheese, garlic powder, salt, pepper, 1 egg, and 1 tablespoon of chopped scallions. (The other half of the scallions will be used as a topping.)
  • Beat the other egg together with 1 teaspoon of water in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Unfold the pastry dough on a lightly greased surface. Make 3 cuts lengthwise and 4 cuts across, creating 12 small pastry squares.
  • Place each pastry square in the muffin tin, pressing down into each cavity slightly. Allow the corners of the square to rest on the edge of the tin.
  • Fill each pastry square with 1 tbsp of spinach mixture. Pinch the tops of the pastry corners together.
  • Brush the tops of the spinach bites with the egg wash and top with the remaining chives and parmesan cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops of the pastries are golden.
  • Once baked, loosen the edge of the spinach bites with a knife before removing them from the muffin tin. Serve warm and enjoy!
