Kronk’s Spinach Puffs are delightful savory pastries made with flaky butter puff pastry filled with a creamy mixture of spinach, cream cheese, feta, and aromatic garlic and onion powders. Baked until golden and buttery, these puffs make a perfect appetizer or snack that’s rich in flavor yet easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale

Spinach Filling

  • 5 oz chopped spinach (fresh, measured before cooking)
  • 125 g cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese (shredded or crumbled)
  • 3–5 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

Puff Pastry & Finishing

  • 1 package butter puff pastry
  • 1 tbsp melted butter (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped spinach, cream cheese, feta cheese, minced garlic, onion powder, garlic powder, and ground pepper. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated and creamy.
  3. Cut Puff Pastry: On a clean surface, roll out the butter puff pastry and cut it into squares large enough to fold over into triangles that will hold the filling securely.
  4. Fill Pastry: Spoon the creamy spinach mixture onto one half of each square. Fold the pastry over to form a triangle, sealing the edges to enclose the filling. Repeat until all squares are filled.
  5. Arrange and Brush: Place the filled spinach puffs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart for even cooking. Brush the tops of each puff generously with melted butter to achieve a golden, glossy finish.
  6. Bake: Bake the spinach puffs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they turn golden brown and puffed up.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then serve warm and enjoy these flaky, savory treats.

Notes

  • Make sure to press the edges of the pastry firmly to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
  • Spinach can be lightly sautéed and drained before mixing if desired to reduce moisture, though fresh chopped spinach is traditional here.
  • You can substitute feta with ricotta or goat cheese for a different flavor profile.
  • Brush the tops with egg wash instead of butter for a shinier crust, if preferred.
  • These puffs can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
