Learn how to make delicious Creamy Mushroom & Spinach Stuffed Pastry Bites. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon thyme leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 package puff pastry sheets (2 sheets), thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

If you’re out of cream cheese, ricotta works beautifully as a substitute, offering a slightly different texture and flavor profile. For a vegan twist, you could opt for plant-based cream cheese and puff pastry.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the garlic and mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms release their liquid and begin to brown, approximately 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the chopped spinach, allowing it to wilt. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  5. In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, Parmesan, thyme, and the cooled mushroom mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Roll out the puff pastry sheets and cut each into 9 squares.
  7. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the filling into the center of each square. Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling to form a parcel and pinch to seal.
  8. Place the parcels on the prepared baking sheet and brush with the beaten egg.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and puffed. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

These steps are as straightforward as making sopa de fideo with my abuela, and the reward is just as satisfying!
