Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach thawed, squeezed dry
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
  • 4 ounces goat cheese room temperature
  • 4 ounces cream cheese room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • black pepper to taste
  • flour for dusting work surface
  • 2 puff pastry sheets thawed
  • 1 egg beaten

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400℉. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Make the filling

  • Add the thawed & squeezed dry spinach to a mixing bowl with the sun-dried tomatoes, goat cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, salt & pepper. Mix until evenly combined (I like to mash it with a fork, but you could use a hand mixer if desired).

Assemble puff pastry bites

  • Sprinkle a little bit of flour on your work surface and unfold thawed, but still cold puff pastry sheet.
  • Lightly roll out each puff pastry sheet out so it's just a bit smoother. Cut each sheet into 3 equal strips (I follow the crease lines from unfolding the puff pastry).
  • Divide the filling in the bowl in half (one half for each set of 3 puff pastry strips).
  • Add the filling as a log to each strip, then tightly roll the puff pastry over the filling, lengthwise. Pinch the seams closed and place seam-side down. (There are photos of this in the post) If desired, you can prepare & refrigerate them at this stage until ready to bake.
  • Brush the beaten egg on the top of each roll, then cut rolls into 1-inch wide pieces. (Alternatively, you can egg wash them, then cut them) Place the puff pastry bites on the baking sheets and bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Best served warm. Enjoy!

Notes

  • This recipe was developed using Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Sheets. The package is 17.3 ounces/490 grams.
  • This recipe makes approximately 58-64 puff pastry bites.  If you plan for 3-4 per person, that would be approximately 15-21 servings.
  • Make sure the spinach is thoroughly squeezed dry so the puff pastry bites don't get soggy.
  • You can prepare these in advance by assembling the puff pastry bites, then storing the raw bites in the fridge (up to 24 hours) or freezer (up to 3 months), then baking when ready to serve.  You may need to add a couple extra minutes of bake time if baking from frozen.
  • You can reheat leftover puff pastry bites in the oven at 350 for 3-6 minutes or an air fryer at 325 for 3-6 minutes.
