- 1 sheet Reduced-fat puff pastry (thawed)
- 2 cups Fresh spinach (chopped)
- 1/2 cup Reduced-fat cream cheese
- 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray
- Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with cooking spray.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach and sauté until wilted, which should take about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the wilted spinach, reduced-fat cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
- Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry into squares or rectangles, depending on your preference and the size of your pastry sheet.
- Place a spoonful of the spinach and cheese mixture on one half of each pastry square or rectangle, making sure to leave a small border around the edges.
- Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling to form a pocket. Use a fork to press down on the edges, sealing the pastry securely.
- Arrange the stuffed pastries on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops of the pastries with cooking spray. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed up.
- Remove the pastries from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these delicious pastries warm as an appetizer, or cold as a portable snack.
