Spinach and Cheese Puff Pastry Squares

 

I regret I ever came across this recipe. I brought it to a work potluck a while back and now everyone insists that

I bring it every time! I think I'm on the hook for good.

Ingredients:

2 sheets of puff pastry (thawed if frozen)

1 ½ cups spinach (chopped and cooked, excess water squeezed out)

1 cup ricotta cheese (or feta for stronger flavor)

½ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

1 egg (for egg wash + 1 extra for the filling)

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: Sesame seeds for topping

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a bowl, mix spinach, cheeses, 1 egg, salt & pepper until combined.

Roll out one puff pastry sheet on baking paper.

Spread the spinach-cheese mixture evenly on it, leaving space around edges.

Cover with the second puff pastry sheet, press edges with a fork to seal.

Cut into square portions using a knife.

Brush the top with egg wash (1 beaten egg).

Sprinkle sesame seeds on top (optional).

Bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden and puffed.

Let cool slightly, then serve warm.
