Spinach Diamond Puffs
Ingredients
- 1 10 oz. pkg. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
- 1/2 C. carrots, finely chopped
- 1 Tbs. onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 C. mayonnaise
- 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 4 oz. Swiss cheese, shredded
- 1 pkg. frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 Tbs. water
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cover 12x15" rectangle baking sheet. Place drained spinach on paper towels and press to remove excess moisture. Chop carrots. Place carrots, onion, mayonnaise, and seasonings in large mixing bowl. Add cheese into bowl and mix well. Lightly sprinkle counter or other surface with flour to roll out pastry. Roll out one pastry sheet into a 12” square. (Do not separate squares.) Using a tablespoon, place a scant scoop spinach mixture in center of each square. Flatten slightly with back of spoon. Combine egg and water. Brush egg mixture over cut lines in pastry and around outside edge of large square. For each appetizer, bring two opposite corners of each square up, over filling, pinch together firmly, and twist. Place on baking sheet. Brush appetizers with egg mixture. Bake 17-18 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to serving platter using a small spatula. Repeat with remaining pastry sheet and spinach mixture. Serve warm.
