Spinach and Ricotta Puff Pastries

Ingredients:

2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped.

1 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
1 tsp garlic powder.

Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp olive oil.

 

INSTRUCTIONS:

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

Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface.
Cut each sheet into 4 squares (you should have 8 squares total).

Place a spoonful of the spinach and cheese mixture in the center of each square.

Fold the pastry over to form a rectangle or triangle and press the edges with a fork to seal.

Transfer the pastries to the prepared baking sheet.

Apply Egg Wash:
Brush the tops of the pastries with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake:

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.

Here are some variations and tips for your spinach and ricotta puff pastries:

Variations:

Add Herbs: Incorporate fresh herbs like basil, dill, or thyme into the filling for added flavor.

Cheese Swap: Try mixing in different cheeses such as feta, mozzarella, or goat cheese for a unique taste.

Add Protein: You can include cooked chicken, bacon, or even sautéed mushrooms to make it heartier.
