Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse the spinach thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Chop the spinach into small pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Mix until smooth.
- Add the chopped spinach and minced garlic to the bowl. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
- Roll out the sheets of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to make sure they are smooth and even.
- Cut each puff pastry sheet into squares or rectangles, depending on your desired pastry size. You should aim for around 12 pieces per sheet.
- Place a spoonful of the spinach dip filling in the center of each puff pastry square.
- Fold the edges of the pastry to enclose the filling, creating a pocket. You can create different shapes (like triangles, rectangles, or squares) by folding and pressing the edges together.
- Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal them and to create a decorative pattern.
- Place the filled pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring there is some space between them for expansion.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed.
- Remove the pastries from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes.
- Serve warm as an appetizer or snack.
Tips:
- Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Thoroughly drain the spinach after cooking to avoid a soggy filling.
- Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the puff pastry for clean edges.
- Chill the filled pastries in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before baking to help maintain their shape.
- For a golden brown finish, brush the tops of the pastries with an egg wash before baking.
