Ingredients

Scale

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 package (17.3 oz) puff pastry sheets (2 sheets)
2 tsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a pan over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted (approximately 3 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.
Roll out thawed puff pastry sheets on a floured surface and cut into squares (3×3 inches).
Place about 1 tablespoon of the spinach-garlic mixture in the center of each square, topped with shredded mozzarella.
Fold each square diagonally into triangles and pinch the edges tightly to seal.
Arrange bites on the prepared baking sheet, brush lightly with olive oil, and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
