How to Prepare

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of chopped spinach
2 cups of ricotta cheese
1 cup of shredded mozzarella
1/2 cup of grated Parmesan
1 tsp of garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface into 12x12 inch squares.
Cut each sheet into 4 smaller squares (for a total of 40 squares).
Place a spoonful of the spinach and cheese mixture in the center of each square.
Fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle or rectangle, pressing the edges to seal with a fork.
Brush the tops of the pastries with beaten egg for a golden finish.
Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Let cool slightly before serving.
