How To Make cheesy spinach puffs
-
1Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

2Combine spinach, ricotta, romano, mozzarella, salt, pepper, garlic, egg yolks, softened butter and red pepper flakes. Mix well.

3Unfold puff pastry and cut into approx. 4" squares. Place a spoonful of spinach mixture in the center of each square. Dampen the edges of the dough with water and pull opposite corners up and over the filling, sealing, to make little pillows.
