Ingredients:

100g
3 garlic cloves
9g
2 tbsp vegetable oil
27g
1.50 cups frozen spinach
230g
1 tbsp sour cream
12g
3 tbsp cream cheese
44g
1 cup mozzarella cheese
110g
1 tsp salt
6g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Puff Pastry:
- 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.
3. Prep the Cups:
- 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.
4. Cook the Garlic:
- 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.
5. Prepare the Spinach:
- 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.
6. Mix the Cheeses:
- 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.
7. Fill the Cups:
- Spoon the spinach and cheese mixture evenly into the puff pastry cups.
8. Bake:
- 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.
9. Cool and Serve:
- 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.

- For extra crispiness, you can brush the edges of the puff pastry with a beaten egg before baking.

- Feel free to customize the filling by adding other ingredients like cooked bacon bits, sautéed mushrooms, or feta cheese.
