Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped

1 cup canned artichoke hearts, drained and coarsely chopped

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/4 cup sour cream

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 garlic clove, minced

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 package (1 lb) frozen puff pastry, fully thawed

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped spinach, coarsely chopped artichoke hearts, softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, and optional red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Use a fork or spatula to mix thoroughly until the filling is smooth and well combined.

      Roll Out the Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, carefully roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets until they are about 1/8 inch thick. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the pastry into squares measuring approximately 3x3 inches.

        Fill the Pastry: Place about one tablespoon of the spinach-artichoke filling in the center of each pastry square. Be cautious not to overfill to ensure easy sealing.

          Shape the Bites: Fold the corners of each pastry square toward the center, creating a small parcel. Pinch the corners together firmly to seal the filling inside, then place the bites seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

            Apply Egg Wash: Using a pastry brush, gently brush the tops of the assembled puff bites with the beaten egg. This will provide a beautiful golden-brown finish during baking.

              Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the puff pastry is puffed and golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-baking.

                Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the bites from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for a vibrant touch before serving.

                  Enjoy: Serve these delightful mini spinach artichoke puff bites warm, perfect for entertaining guests or as a delicious snack anytime!
