# Ingredients:

→ For the Puffs

01 - 1 package (17 oz) puff pastry (thawed)

02 - 1 cup frozen spinach (thawed and drained)

03 - 8 oz cream cheese (softened)

04 - 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

05 - 1/4 tsp garlic powder

06 - 1/4 tsp onion powder

07 - 1 tbsp olive oil or butter

08 - 1 egg (for egg wash)

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

02 - Squeeze excess moisture from the spinach. Mix the spinach, cream cheese, mozzarella, garlic powder, and onion powder in a bowl until well combined.

03 - Roll out the puff pastry and cut it into squares. Spoon the spinach mixture into the center of each square. Fold the pastry over to form a triangle, sealing edges with a fork.

04 - Beat the egg and brush it over the puffs for a golden finish.

05 - Place the puffs on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and puffed.

# Notes:

01 - Prepare the puffs in advance, freeze them, and bake from frozen when ready to serve.

02 - Add extra ingredients like feta, sautéed mushrooms, or a dash of red pepper flakes for added flavor.

03 - These puffs pair wonderfully with a creamy dip or a fresh salad.
