🥬 Spinach Puffs
Makes 12–16 puffs
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
- 1 cup fresh spinach (or ½ cup frozen, thawed and drained)

- 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)
- 1 garlic clove, minced (optional)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)

- Preheat to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the filling
- In a skillet, sauté onion and garlic until soft (if using).
- Add spinach and cook until wilted (or thawed and drained if using frozen).
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Mix in feta, cream cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
3. Assemble the puffs
- Roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.

- Place 1–2 tsp of spinach mixture in the center of each square.
- Fold into triangles or rectangles and press edges with a fork to seal.
4. Egg wash
