How to Make these Spinach Dip Puff Bites:
To start your spinach dip puff bites preheat your oven to 400° F. Roll out the puff pastry sheet until it’s around ¼ inch thick and cut it into 12 equal sized rectangles with a pizza cutter or a knife.
Spray each cup of your muffin tin with a non stick cooking spray. Gently press a puff pastry rectangle into each cup of your muffin tin.
Brush each pastry rectangle with melted butter and top with the garlic powder and parsley.
Prior to using the thawed spinach the water must be removed and it needs to be almost dry. Place the thawed spinach in a potato ricer to squeeze all the water from the spinach. Or you can use paper towels or kitchen towels to squeezed it dry.
Add the spinach in a large mixing bowl along with the cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper and stir to combine.
Spoon the spinach and cheese mixture into the pastry cups until they’re around halfway full. Place the spinach and cheese pastry cups in the preheat oven and bake for 10-15 minutes until the puff pastry is golden brown.
Remove the Spinach Dip Puff Pastry cups from the muffin tin pan. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
