Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • rubber spatula
  • cutting board
  • kitchen knife
  • baking sheet pan
  • silicone baking mat
  • Pastry brush

Ingredients
  

  • 1 block softened cream cheese 8 oz
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 pcs eggs divided
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 bag frozen spinach 10 oz, thawed and drained
  • 1 box frozen puff pastry sheets 2 ct, thawed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and line two baking trays with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, 1 egg, and salt and pepper.
  • Add your frozen spinach into a bowl of hot water and let sit for 2 minutes. Drain off the water, then squeeze the spinach really well to remove any excess liquid.
  • Add the spinach into the cheese mixture and mix to combine, then set aside for later.
  • Working with 1 sheet at a time, unroll the sheets of thawed puff pastry and cut each sheet into 9 equal squares.
  • Turn each pastry square so it looks like a diamond, then spoon the filling in the middle of the pastry from top to bottom, making sure to leave about half an inch of pastry on each side.
  • Place on your prepared baking sheets, then lightly brush whisked egg on the right corner of the pastry.
  • Fold the left pastry corner over the filling, then fold the egg-washed corner over the first folded piece of dough and press gently to seal.
  • Brush each pastry lightly with the remaining whisked egg and sprinkle with more grated parmesan cheese. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown!
