Light, flaky, and filled with creamy spinach and cheese, these Golden Spinach Ricotta Puffs are the perfect vegetarian appetizer. Made with puff pastry, fresh spinach, ricotta, and parmesan, they bake up golden and crisp—ideal for parties, brunches, or freezer-friendly make-ahead snacks.

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed

  • 7 oz baby spinach

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 7 oz ricotta cheese

  • 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

  • 1 large egg (for filling)

  • 1 egg yolk (for egg wash)

  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds

  • Pinch of salt

 

  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté garlic for 1 minute, then add spinach and cook until wilted (3–4 minutes). Cool slightly, squeeze out excess moisture, and chop finely.

  3. In a bowl, mix spinach, ricotta, parmesan, egg, salt, and pepper until smooth.

  4. Roll out puff pastry and cut into 4×4-inch squares.

  5. Spoon the spinach mixture into the center of each square.

  6. Fold opposite corners toward the center and press lightly to seal.

  7. Brush tops with egg yolk and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

  8. Bake for 20–22 minutes until puffed and golden brown.

  9. Serve warm or at room temperature—optional with herbed yogurt dip.

Notes

  • These can be frozen before baking—just thaw slightly and bake as directed.

  • Swap parmesan with feta for a tangier flavor.

  • Great addition to brunch boards or potluck spreads.
