Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
Preparation:
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the Filling:
In a large pan, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Cook the chopped spinach for two to three minutes, or until it wilts.
After removing it from the flame, allow it to cool somewhat.
The cooked spinach, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper should all be combined in a medium-sized bowl.. Mix well.
Assemble the Pastries:
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a board dusted with a little flour.
Make eight squares in total by cutting each page into four squares.
Put a dollop of the cheese and spinach mixture in the middle of every square.
Using a fork, seal the edges of the triangle or rectangle formed by folding the pastry over.
Transfer the pastries to the prepared baking sheet.
Apply Egg Wash:
For a golden finish, brush the tops of the pastries with the beaten egg.
Bake:
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in a preheated oven, or until the pastries are puffy and have a golden brown color.
