Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed
1/2 cup crumbled feta
1/4 cup minced onion
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chopped dill
1 teaspoon minced garlic
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs
1 sheet frozen puff pastry (from a 17.3-ounces package), thawed, rolled out to a 12" square, kept chilled
Special Equipment
A standard 6-cup muffin pan

Steps:

  • Using your hands, squeeze spinach until dry, forcing out as much water as possible (too much water will make for a soggy filling; you should have about 2/3 cup well-drained spinach). Mix spinach and next 5 ingredients in a medium bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, beat 1 egg to blend; fold into spinach mixture.
  • Cut puff pastry into 3 equal strips. Reserve 1 strip for another use. Cut each remaining strip into 3 squares for a total of 6. Place a square in each muffin cup, pressing into bottom and up sides and leaving corners pointing up. Divide filling among cups. Fold pastry over filling, pressing corners together to meet in center. DO AHEAD: Spinach puffs can be assembled 3 hours ahead. Cover puffs and chill.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Beat remaining egg to blend in a small bowl. Brush pastry with egg wash (this will give the pastry a nice sheen). Bake until pastry is golden brown and puffed, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let puffs cool in pan for 10 minutes. Run a sharp paring knife around pan edges to loosen; turn out puffs onto rack to cool slightly before serving.

Time 50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cubed
3 tablespoons chopped onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups fresh spinach
1 ½ cups ricotta cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
6 tablespoons butter, softened
3 (10 ounce) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  • Unroll crescent roll dough and pinch 2 triangles together to form a rectangle of dough; repeat with remaining dough to make 12 rectangles.

Tips:

  • Prep puff pastry sheets properly: Before working with puff pastry sheets, make sure they are thawed in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This will ensure that they are easy to work with and will puff up properly in the oven.
  • Chill before baking: After shaping the spinach puffs, chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help them to hold their shape and will result in a flakier pastry.
  • Use a sharp knife: When cutting the puff pastry sheets, use a sharp knife to ensure clean cuts. This will help to prevent the pastry from tearing.
  • Don't overfill the puffs: When filling the spinach puffs, be careful not to overfill them. This can cause the puffs to burst open in the oven.
  • Bake at a high temperature: Spinach puffs should be baked at a high temperature (400°F or 200°C) for a short period of time. This will help them to rise quickly and puff up properly.

Conclusion:

Spinach puffs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and can be made ahead of time. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect spinach puffs every time. So next time you are looking for a tasty and impressive appetizer, give these spinach puffs a try!
