Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to smooth out any creases.
- Cut the puff pastry into squares, each about 3 inches (7.5 cm) in size.
- Gently press the puff pastry squares into the wells of a muffin tin, forming small cups.
- Set the prepared muffin tin aside while you make the filling.
- In a medium skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to let it burn.
- Add the thawed and drained spinach to the skillet with the garlic.
- Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is heated through and any excess moisture has evaporated.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, cream cheese, and mozzarella cheese.
- Add the cooked spinach and garlic mixture to the bowl.
- Season with salt and a dash of black pepper.
- Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
- Spoon the spinach and cheese mixture evenly into the puff pastry cups.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Allow the puff pastry spinach cups to cool in the muffin tin for about 5 minutes.
- Carefully remove the cups from the tin and transfer them to a serving platter.
Tips:
- Thaw the puff pastry according to the package instructions to ensure it rolls out easily.
- Make sure to squeeze out any excess water from the thawed spinach to avoid a soggy filling.
- Preheat your oven to the recommended temperature before baking the pastry cups for even cooking.
