Savory and Silky: Cream Cheese Spinach Puffs for Every Occasion

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). If you’re using puff pastry sheets, roll them out on a lightly floured surface. If using mini puff pastry shells, prepare them by placing them on a baking sheet.

Prepare the Filling: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Parmesan, mozzarella, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth. Add the chopped spinach and stir until it is fully incorporated into the cheesy mixture.

Assemble the Puffs: For puff pastry sheets, cut the pastry into squares (about 3x3 inches). Place a generous spoonful of the spinach mixture in the center of each square. Fold the edges over to create a pocket or triangle, pressing down the edges to seal. If using mini puff pastry shells, fill each shell with the spinach mixture.

Egg Wash: Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the tops of each puff to give them a golden, crispy finish.

Bake: Place the puffs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are puffed up and golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-browning.

Serve: Allow the puffs to cool for a few minutes before serving, as the filling will be hot.
