Spinach Puffs

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F. Spray 2 9-cup muffin pans with nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the cream cheese 10 seconds at a time until softened and melted but not steaming. Stir in the egg, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder, salt and pepper until well combined.

Step 3

Add the spinach, parmesan and bacon. Using a fork, mix in the cream cheese mixture.

Step 4

Lightly dust flour on a work surface. Unfold 1 puff pastry sheet onto the flour. Roll a couple times each way with a rolling pin to smooth it out. Using a knife or pizza cutter, slice into 9 squares. Repeat with the remaining puff pastry sheet.

Step 5

Press the pastry squares into the bottom of the muffin cups. Evenly divide the spinach mixture among the cups. Using your fingers, pull the 4 pastry points on one cup over the filling and the press them together. Repeat with remaining puffs. Lightly brush with the melted butter.

Step 6

Bake 20 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. Cool 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges to loosen from the pan.
