1 sheet puff pastry
7 oz baby spinach
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
8 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
1 egg
1 egg yolk
Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Heat a pan over medium heat, add olive oil, and sauté the minced garlic for about 2 minutes until softened.
Add the baby spinach to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until the spinach wilts and becomes soft.
After turning off the heat, remove the pan and allow the mixture to cool.

Cut the puff pastry sheet into 6 or 12 squares, depending on the desired size, and place them on the prepared baking tray.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled spinach mixture, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, and one beaten egg. Add salt and pepper to taste, then thoroughly combine.

Divide the spinach mixture evenly among the squares of puff pastry.
Fold two opposite edges of each square tightly to enclose the filling.
Brush the tops of the spinach puffs with the beaten egg yolk.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 35 minutes or until the puffs turn golden brown.
Before serving, take them out of the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
