Spinach Puffs Recipe

Spinach Puffs are stuffed with a cheesy spinach filling and enclosed in a buttery puff pastry crust. Perfect appetizer or vegetarian meal!

I may be going slightly insane right now. There’s a fly buzzing around my head and a puppy yelping for attention while I’m trying to write this post. Said puppy just learned how to jump on my lap while I’m sitting at my desk this morning which at first was cute but it’s already gotten real old. However, it could be much much worse. At least I have a roof over my head with power, heat, water, food, and phone and internet service. 

Hurricane Sandy has sure made me grateful for all the things I have. Since it’s Thanksgiving month, I would also like to add that I’m thankful to have received a college education which I’ll be completing at the end of this year. It’s easy to complain about homework and tests and nasty professors but really for any students out there we should just be grateful that we’ve been afforded the opportunity to be in school. There are so many people in this world who will never receive such a gift. What are you thankful for?

Speaking of Thanksgiving, these spinach puffs would make a fabulous snack, appetizer, side dish, or vegetarian dish for T-day. I prefer these over spanakopita any day because let’s face it, puff pastry is way better than filo. Side note, my spell check is trying to tell me to correct spanakopita to “spanking.” For once I’m smarter than spell check!

Ingredients

• 1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1 small onion, minced
• 1 garlic glove, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon chopped dill (I omitted because I dislike dill)
