Instructions
Making the Ham Cheese & Spinach Puffs is a breeze when you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Puff Pastry: Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into squares (about 4×4 inches).
3. Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine the diced ham, chopped spinach, shredded cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
4. Fill the Pastry: Place a generous spoonful of the ham and cheese mixture in the center of each puff pastry square.
5. Seal the Puffs: Fold the pastry over to create a triangle or rectangle. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal them completely.
6. Prepare Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk the egg. Brush the egg wash over each pastry for a golden finish.
7. Bake: Transfer the filled pastries to the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
8. Cool: Once baked, remove from the oven and let the puffs cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
