Steps:
- Preheat the oven 350ºF (180ºC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Put the spinach in a bowl; stir in half the beaten egg and the nutmeg. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Roll out the pastry on a floured surface into a rectangle (16 x 8-inch / 40 x 20-cm) and trim the edges. Lightly flour the top of the pastry and cut the rectangle into 4 pieces, each about 4 inches (10-cm) wide and 8 inches (20-cm) tall. Cut 1 inch (2.5-cm) thick wide strips diagonally on both sides of the pastry, leaving the center intact. Try to cut an equal number of strips on both sides. Lay pastries out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Divide the spinach equally between the squares, in the center, top it with brie slices then braid by crossing the strips over the filling alternating from side to side. Brush the tops of the pastries with the remaining beaten egg (add a tablespoon of water), then sprinkle some sesame and poppy seeds over each pastry. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until puffed and golden.

Steps:
- Put the spinach in a clean kitchen towel over a bowl or the sink and twist to squeeze out all the moisture. Coarsely chop.
- Put the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream and garlic in a large bowl; mix vigorously until combined and smooth. (If you prefer, you can use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.) Add the spinach to the cream cheese mixture, breaking it up as you add it. Add the artichokes, mozzarella and Parmesan, mixing to combine. Season with salt and pepper, then refrigerate until ready to use.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk the egg with a splash of water in a small bowl. Roll out the puff pastry to a 13-by-12-inch wide rectangle. Cut a 1-inch wide strip of dough off the shorter end to create a 12-by-12-inch square, reserving the strip for decorating. Transfer the square to the prepared baking sheet. Place the wheel of brie in the center of the dough. Top with the chilled spinach-artichoke mixture. Fold the puff pastry up and over the brie, brushing the edges with a little egg wash and pinching to seal. Form the reserved strip of dough into a bow. Brush a little egg wash on the center of the pastry and gently press the bow on top to secure. Brush the bow and the entire exterior of the pastry with the egg wash, then return it to the refrigerator to chill, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Bake until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through, about 40 minutes. Let sit for 15 minutes, then serve warm with crackers and/or crostini.
SPINACH IN PUFF PASTRY
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Heat the butter in a saute pan and cook the onions over medium-low heat for 5 to 7 minutes, until tender. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Meanwhile, squeeze most of the water out of the spinach and place it in a bowl. Add the onion mixture, scallions, Gruyere, Parmesan, eggs, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and pignolis. Mix well.
- Unfold one sheet of puff pastry and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread the spinach mixture in the middle of the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border. Brush the border with the egg wash. Roll out the second piece of puff pastry on a floured board until it's an inch larger in each direction. Place the second sheet of pastry over the spinach and seal the edges, crimping them with a fork. Brush the top with egg wash but don't let it drip down the sides or the pastry won't rise. Make three small slits in the pastry, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the pastry is lightly browned. Transfer to a cutting board and serve hot.

BAKED BABY BRIE IN A PUFF PASTRY WITH CHUTNEY AND BABY SPINACH
What a presentation and simple, simple, simple. I was served this at a local RI restaurant and couldn't wait to go home and try it. After the brie is done baking, I place it on a platter of baby spinach that has been tossed lightly with vidalia onion dressing. While it is still hot, I spread the top of the baked brie with chutney (or you can use your favorite preserves) and serve it with sesame crackers. Cut into the brie and watch the cheese ooze - delicious! Preparation time includes thawing of frozen puff pastry sheet.

SPINACH ROLLS WITH PUFF PASTRY
A vegetarian version of mini sausage rolls but made with a spinach and feta filling. I used frozen spinach because it was a better buy than fresh at the time but the equivalent amount of fresh spinach, chopped and wilted, would do the job.

Tips:
- Prepare the puff pastry in advance: Puff pastry can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months. This makes it a great option for busy weeknights or for entertaining guests.
- Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and color than frozen spinach. If you are using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw it and squeeze out all of the excess moisture before using.
- Don't overcook the spinach: Overcooked spinach will become wilted and mushy. Cook it just until it is wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
- Use a variety of cheeses: Brie cheese is the classic choice for spinach puffs, but you can also use other types of cheese, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or goat cheese. Experiment with different cheeses to find your favorite combination.
- Add some herbs and spices: Herbs and spices can add a lot of flavor to spinach puffs. Try adding some garlic, onion, thyme, or rosemary. You can also add a pinch of nutmeg or cayenne pepper for a little extra kick.
- Serve the spinach puffs immediately: Spinach puffs are best served hot out of the oven. They can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or main course.
Conclusion:
Spinach puffs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create a spinach puff that is sure to impress your family and friends.
