Preparation

Preparation10 min

Cook time25 min

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

Wash and drain the spinach, then pan-fry with olive oil, salt and pepper for 5 minutes over medium heat.
Meanwhile, put the goat's cheese, egg, cream, salt and pepper in a bowl.
Mix well.
Once the spinach has cooled, roughly chop it with a knife.
Add the chopped spinach to the previous mixture.
Cut the puff pastry into 9 pieces.

*It's best to use rectangular pastry, but if, like us, you don't have any, trim the edges and save the scraps to fill in the pastries at the end!
Place the squares of dough in the greased muffin tins.
Pour the spinach and goat cheese mixture into each mould.
Fold the edges of the pastry over, sealing them as well as you can, then brush with beaten egg yolk and sprinkle with sesame seeds (optional).

Bake in a fan-assisted oven at 350°F (180°C) for 25 minutes.
And there you go—your puff pastries are ready! :-)

FAQ ❓

Can I use frozen spinach for this recipe?

Yes, you can replace the fresh spinach with frozen spinach. Just be sure to drain it well after cooking to prevent it from releasing too much water into the mixture.

Can I substitute the goat's cheese?

Of course! You can use ricotta, cream cheese such as Philadelphia, or even sheep's cheese for a change of flavour.

How can I prevent the puff pastry from becoming soggy?

To prevent the puff pastry from becoming soggy, make sure the spinach is well drained before mixing it with the cheese.

How do I store these mini puff pastries?

Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. To reheat them, put them in the oven so they crisp up again.

Can I prepare the puff pastries in advance?

Yes, you can prepare the puff pastries the day before and store them in the refrigerator, then bake them the next day. If you prefer, you can also freeze them before baking and put them straight into the oven while still frozen.
