Cheesy Spinach Puff Pastry
Cheesy Spinach Puff Pastry
Cheesy Spinach Puff Pastry Recipe with step by step photo - This vegetarian puff pastry recipe is filled with sautéed spinach and onion with some spices and Mozzarella cheese. Perfect as an appetizer. The puff pastry gives it flakey, buttery crust that I love most. These tempting appetizers look like they're difficult to make...but they're not.
Ingredients:
For the Pastry:
- Puff pastry sheets (thawed) - 1 sheet
- Water or Milk (to seal the edges) - 2 teaspoon
- Butter for brushing the top (can use egg wash too) - 2 tbsp
- Spinach leaves (Chopped) - 1.5 cup
- Onion (finely Chopped) - 1 small
- Garlic (finely chopped) - 1 tsp
- Black pepper powder - 1 tsp
- Cumin powder - 1 tsp
- Garam masala powder - 1 tsp
- Salt - to taste
- Mozzarella cheese (Shredded) - 2 cups
- Olive oil - 2 tablespoon
Method:
1. Heat oil in a pan. Add chopped garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
2. Add chopped onions and Sauté until onions are translucent.
3. Add spinach and sauté 5-7 minutes.
4. Add pepper, cumin powder, garam masala powder and salt into it.
5. Saute for an additional 3-4 minutes, then turn the heat off and set the skillet aside. Allow the mixture to cool completely.
6. Preheat oven at 375 degree F. Unwrap and spread out the thaw puff pastry sheet so that it is flat on the counter. Using a rolling pin, roll out the puff pastry sheet until it is bigger in size, smooth and even. If the sheet feels sticky, dust the top of the sheet with a little flour and start rolling. Cut 8 squares out of the puff pastry sheet.
7. Take one square piece and brush with some butter.
8. Place the sautéed spinach in the middle. Top with the cheese. Apply water or milk on the edges of the square. Fold the top corner over the filling. It will look like a rectangle. Press the sides gently by using a fork.
9. Once the entire puff pastry is wrapped up. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Arrange puffs on the baking tray. Brush with butter or egg wash and bake for 30 minutes or until turn golden brown in color.
10. Allow the puffs to cool on the baking sheets for 4 to 5 minutes before transferring them on to plate.
11. Serve with green chutney or hot sauce and enjoy!
