Bake them in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and beautifully puffed. Let them cool for a few minutes after baking.

If desired, garnish with freshly chopped herbs like parsley or chives. Serve these warm with your favorite dipping sauces such as marinara, ranch, or a garlic aioli for a delightful treat.

Variations
You can switch up the filling by adding cooked mushrooms, caramelized onions, or sun-dried tomatoes for extra depth of flavor.

Try using feta cheese instead of ricotta for a tangy twist, or add a bit of crumbled bacon or sausage for a heartier bite.

Cottage cheese maker

For a vegan version, opt for dairy-free cheese and puff pastry and sautéed vegetables of your choice.

Spices like nutmeg or crushed red pepper can also be added to the filling for extra warmth or kick.

Tips
Make sure the puff pastry stays cold before baking to ensure maximum puff and flakiness. Don’t overload the squares with filling to prevent them from bursting open.

Thaw and drain any frozen spinach thoroughly to avoid a watery mixture. Brushing the tops with egg wash not only adds shine but also helps the seasoning or Parmesan adhere better.

These squares are best served fresh but can be reheated in an oven for a crispier texture.

They come together quickly with minimal ingredients and offer endless opportunities for customization to suit any taste or dietary preference.
