Ingredients
- 3 heets puff pastry thawed
- 16 ounces frozen spinach thawed
- 12 ounces cream cheese softened
- 3 large eggs separated
- 6 ounces shredded Parmesan cheese
- 6 lices Cooked Bacon finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- Lightly grease two 12 cup muffin tins.
- Line a strainer with a thick paper towel or cheesecloth. Place the thawed spinach in a the strainer and wrap it in the paper towel before squeezing as much water from it as possible. Once the spinach is drained finely chop it (if needed).
- Place the softened cream cheese into a large bowl and use a hand mixer to whisk until fluffy.
- Add two eggs, shredded Parmesan, cooked and chopped bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Beat with the mixer until fully combined.
- Add the spinach to the cheese mixture and stir it in until fully combined.
- On a lightly floured surface, unfold thawed puff pastry. Lightly roll the pastry just enough to flatten out the creases. Cut each pastry sheet into nine squares.
- Place the dough in greased muffin cups, pressing it gently down into the bottom of the cup, allowing the corners to point up. You will have three extra pieces of dough at the end, dispose of these.
- Fill each puff pastry cup with about 2 tablespoons of the spinach mixture. Gently fold the corners of the puff pastry inward. They don't have to touch.
- In a small bowl mix together the remaining egg and 1 tablespoon of water together to make an egg wash. Brush egg wash over the puff pastries.
- Place in the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes or until puff pastry is golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
