Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Filling:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt, pepper, and any additional spices you prefer (garlic powder or herbs work wonderfully).
• Mix until well combined. This filling is creamy and packed with flavor, making it irresistible!

1. Prepare the Puff Pastry:

• Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into squares (about 3×3 inches).
• Place a spoonful of the spinach and cheese mixture in the center of each square.

1. Seal the Bites:

• Fold the pastry over the filling to create a triangle or rectangle, pressing the edges together to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.

1. Egg Wash:

• Beat the egg in a small bowl. Brush the tops of the pastry bites with the egg wash to give them a golden color as they bake.

1. Bake:

• Place the pastry bites on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown.

1. Serve and Enjoy:

• Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Arrange on a platter and watch as your guests dive in!

Tips for Hosting Success

• Make Ahead: These puff pastry bites can be prepared ahead of time and frozen before baking. Just pop them in the oven when your guests arrive for fresh, warm treats.
• Variety: Feel free to experiment with different fillings! Consider options like mushroom and goat cheese, chicken and cheddar, or even sweet fillings for dessert.
• Dipping Sauces: Offer a variety of dipping sauces to accompany your bites. A tangy marinara or a creamy ranch can elevate the experience.
