Flaky, golden puff pastry meets a savory, creamy spinach and feta filling in these irresistible bites. Baked in a muffin tin for easy prep and a perfectly portioned shape, they’re folded over into little pockets that puff up beautifully in the oven. Great warm or at room temp, these are elegant enough for your Easter spread—but easy enough to whip up in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients (for 12 puffs):

• 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 3 oz baby spinach (about 3 packed cups)
• ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1 large egg (plus 1 for egg wash)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Optional: pinch of nutmeg or red pepper flakes for extra flavor
  

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
2. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 30 sec. Add spinach and sauté until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. In a bowl, mix sautéed spinach, feta, 1 beaten egg, salt, pepper, and any optional spices.
4. Roll out puff pastry and cut into 12 squares. Gently press each square into a muffin cup, letting corners overhang. Fill each with a spoonful of spinach mixture. Fold corners over the filling to form a loose pouch.
5. Beat remaining egg and brush over tops. Bake  for 15–18 min. or until golden and puffed.
6. Let sit a few min before removing from pan. Serve warm or at room temp.
