Description
Delicious and easy-to-make savory ham and cheese spinach puffs, perfect for appetizers or snacks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup cooked ham, diced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 package (17.3 ounces) frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, diced ham, shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets. Cut each sheet into 4 squares.
- Place a generous tablespoon of the filling in the center of each pastry square. Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling to create a triangle or rectangle shape, pressing the edges to seal.
- Transfer the filled puffs to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops 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.
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling for a bit of heat.
- You can also substitute the ham with cooked chicken or turkey for a different twist.
