Description
Delicious Ham and Cheese Spinach Puffs that are easy to make and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cooked spinach, drained and chopped
- 1 cup diced ham
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 package (1 sheet) puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, diced ham, shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to smooth out any creases. Cut the pastry into squares, approximately 4 inches by 4 inches.
- Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each pastry square. Be careful not to overfill.
- Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling to form a triangle or rectangle, depending on your preference. Press the edges to seal and use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
- Brush the tops of the puffs with the beaten egg to give them a golden color when baked.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and flaky.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, substitute the ham with cooked mushrooms or diced bell peppers.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling for a spicy kick.
