Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped Look for vibrant green leaves for the best flavor.
  • ½ cup cream cheese Use full-fat for a creamier texture.
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese Freshly shredded melts better than pre-shredded.
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese A little goes a long way in adding flavor.
  • 1 clove garlic, minced Fresh garlic is key for enhanced flavor.
  • Salt and pepper to taste Don’t forget to season generously!
For the Bites
  • 1 package of puff pastry (2 sheets) Thaw in the fridge before using for ease of handling.
  • 1 egg beaten (for egg wash) This will give your bites a beautiful golden color.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure your pastries cook evenly and get that desirable golden brown color.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped spinach, cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  3. Dust your countertop lightly with flour, and roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets to about ¼ inch thickness, cutting them into squares of about 3×3 inches.
  4. Place a heaping teaspoon of the filling in the center of each square. Fold the corners over to the center, pinching the edges to seal tightly.
  5. Transfer the assembled bites onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush the tops with the beaten egg.
Baking
  1. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
  2. Once baked, allow the Spinach Dip Bites to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Use fresh spinach for the best flavor. Prepare the filling in advance and refrigerate unbaked bites for quick baking later. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
